Great work Keith! Know creating this must've taken a really long time to formulate, source, and write. This should serve as a comprehensive guide to all questions about race and nationalism for a long time.

Really well-executed article. Important topic, very neatly arranged, all the most important points covered in detail, with clarity.

I see race as more or less relevant to some, specifically those of us still belonging to distinct racial groups. As we should be, the more I travel the world the more I see people and think 'this person is indistinguishably Arab/Indian/Pakistani/Mestizo/Indigenous of 1,000 varieties; there is so much similarity in height, skin-tone, eyes, hair, facial features, height (or lack thereof) that a massive swathe of humanity is essentially indistinguishable from the rest.

Surely those with unique characteristics, especially characteristics that are desirable, should not be willing to be shamed for A.) recognising their uniqueness in the grand scheme of things, B.) wanting to represent that as comparing favourably to the endless brownoid hordes of the majority of the world (bless their hearts, and all due respect to them).

Joel Davis is always promoting 'racism', which in a sense I understand -- other than the willingness to use Trotskyist language. But, I do agree that it is time for race realism to take centre-stage culturally, and think that it is necessary that there is a rebirth in how we consider human anthropology, human biology, human neuroscience, and the science of race, ethnicity, and genetics. If there is not a revolution in thought related-to how we conceive of, and are able to discuss race: it will be used as a weapon against us, and means of turning everyone against everyone else.

I appreciate you bringing-up Ignatiev. I am thinking that maybe that is where E. Michael (Boomer) Jones got his ridiculous idea, that he was espousing recently, that the Irish are not White. What a ridiculous claim... 'Whiteness' is probably best characterised in genetics in the expression of the R1b halpogroup; the most common for Western Europeans. The Irish specifically have the highest ratios of R1b out of any population on Earth. So, we are not only White. We are literally as White as White can be.

There are too many people trying to confuse the issue of race and ethnicity, and stigmatise its discussion. We must do all we can to make clear sense of this issue, as it is vital -- and, I believe, one the understanding of which spells victory or loss for our people in the culture war; and the genetic war for the ages through the proliferation of our genetics. Again, thank you for your effort clarifying the issue, Keith!
