Absolutely disgusting. Oh right down south in the land of traitors, rattle snakes and alligators! Where cotton's king and men are chattles! Union boys will win the battles! (talk) 04:05, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Is 'never having used the word miscegenation and having difficulty spelling it' to be regarded as a positive attribute? 86.191.125.209 (talk) 12:13, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

The logic behind the legislation

Humanity is descended from hominids in now Africa (simplification).

Therefore #everyone#, including the people who passed the legislation would be negatively affected by the laws.

Or am I misunderstanding things? Anna Livia (talk) 15:34, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

You know that and i know that. But the people who passed the legislation didn't know that. They would have seen themselves as descendants of Adam and Eve. And they were white. There were no black people until Ham looked at his father Noah's cock and got turned black as a punishment. That's what the people who passed the legislation would have believed. Spud (talk)

But #they would still be affected by the legislation# - as Noah's descendants would have to inbreed to an extent that would make Charles II of Spain seem normal. Anna Livia (talk) 20:11, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Even if they're aware, they'd just make up some bullshit distinction to try to differentiate themselves from whatever arbitrary group they feel like oppressing. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 20:24, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Needs some more expansion if isn't covered in other pages

For instance, this rule, mostly developed in the United States, provided great inspiration for Nazi policies at the time. Also iirc there were also "white" classifications in other countries that were more encompassing, casted a wider net, and these countries had also racist policies that encouraged interracial marriages and whatnot to wipe out the indigenous race, just to show you how incoherent "whiteness" is. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 06:35, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
