Speak for yourself, cantthinkofaname.

You could do the same for a world map or an Old World Map. It would be interesting if Bangladesh came out near the middle, which might not be unlikely considering the huge number of people in East Asia.

Nothing wrong with hooked noses, either.

Yes, I was joking, I don’t go for any kind of compulsion. I was reading about the Love Commandos – what a great idea.

this is false. southern india’s TFR is replacement or sub, just as turkey, iran, and tunisia. northern india’s is like pakistan, the arabian peninsula, syria, iraq.

this is probably why this sort of stuff is useful. it gives people a gestalt comprehension of demographics if they don’t have a good natural intuition, like the commenter above.

the reason they’re physically attractive is that average composites are always better looking than the median. they don’t naturally have the asymmetric biases that a normal person does.

Although I did find one of my first cousins very endearing. But we lacked the contact to form any kind of friendship. Plus we were both very wary of the genetic closeness, and the social taboos prohibited any kind of friendship+.

We both ended up marrying Chinese, maybe partially as a function of that wariness. So what? We’re both happy, we both have good kids, and we still regard each other warmly and respectfully. This race stuff on a non-medical or historical level gets boring after a while. It’s nice to know where people come from, but once that’s out of the way, so what? Diversity is fun, and interactingwith different cultures is fun and funny. And I remain a strong advocate of interacial marriage, I think it should be compulsory, for cultural rather than genetic reasons (or maybe both). But that’s about it.
