i havent logged in since 3 years . But now i want to . <| sep |> Congratulations man ! Good work , I hope you ' re pleased and happy with your work . <| sep |> I want both . I am just pointing out that it ' s not the same as a blockchain increase by hard fork . It ' s a transaction increase unless the transaction type conforms to SegWit standards yes it will increase size , just not to 3 . 7 MB unless transactions follow certain rules . This matter for information other than transaction data etc . <| sep |> inb 4 switch hanzo before the door opens <| sep |> am more interested in why a group would consider genetics an important requirement . The strength of my position that genetics should be negligible rests on the fact that no good argument can be made in favour heritage playing an important part in determining national identity . Very often it ' s nothing more than a banal bias wherein the correlation of genes with culture is misinterpreted as if the genes were a necessary component . Part of this might be tribalism . Human mammal brains still tend to perceive others that are like us or in our ingroups as being easier to trust . Other groups or tribes are potentially dangerous . This leads to higher social cohesion and levels of trust among societies that at least appear homogeneous ie even though Danish genetics are a rainbow of European genes due to trading , raiding , warring , and exploring across the continent and beyond and bringing lots of genes back , certain appearancestraits are associated with being DanishNorthern European . Similarly , even though Japan has tons of genetic input from China and Korea , they consider themselves to be largely homogeneous . I doubt lingering tendencies from our mammal brains is the whole story though while millions of years of evolution may have conditioned us to stick with our familysocial units more for survival , that is hardly a dominating factor now . With the exception of hardcore racists , few probably fear for the destruction of their genetic material and the survival of their entire unit or whatever . Which leads back to the above appearance . Someone with Somalian ancestry who didn ' t look Danish after a few generations just wouldn ' t fit people ' s ideas of what being Danish is . Someone with Polish , Finnish , or other Nordic ancestry would fit in more quickly . It ' s probably not genetic similarity they are concerned about , but that identity is somehow linked in their brains to appearance . For Americans , that link doesn ' t exist we ' ve been a multiracial country from day one , and American doesn ' t conjure up images of any particular race . It isn ' t a racial identity like Native American . Danish , however , tends to make people think tall , blonde , white yeah , most Danes aren ' t even blond . It ' s like being Jewish in a way I may be ethnically and culturally Jewish , but the group may define rules that exclude me anyway . Danish may be a language , a national identity , a cuisine , and a culture , but someone who has those but lacks the right genetic makeup won ' t be seen as Danish . In this case , the right genetic makeup isn ' t Danish no such thing , but some mix of European genes that results in an acceptably Danish looking white person . That same mix could likely be found throughout northern Europe and beyond . Likewise , if I were Korean or Japanese , the likelihood of my kids being accepted as Chinese would be pretty high children of Europeans and Chinese who grow up here might be seen as foreign , but if they look Chinese , that passes the bar if everything else passes too . I agree genetics should be negligible but for many , appearances probably isn ' t . For Americans and Canadians , race and appearance is utterly irrelevant for countries that are and have been relatively homogeneous , this isn ' t the case , and changing that isn ' t easy . This isn ' t always just skin deep either whose tomb would I sweep on tombsweeping day ? In a country which venerates ancestors , mine are on the other side of world . I could do the motions of the traditions , but some might see it as offensive or odd they ' re carrying on traditions passed on for thousands of years , and I ' m just butting in and acting like going through the motions has the same meaning . If I put on Tang dynasty robes , it would be funny but very different from someone wearing something their own ancestors might have worn and taking pride in it . There is often a strong sense of ownership , and passing that on to newcomers isn ' t always easy to some . Which again , might be it ' s easy for us to accept newcomers as Americans we have no history or traditions to honor , no thousands of years of ownership of the land . We killed 99 . 9 % of the people who had that claim .
