Equalism is a religion and any science that indicates no, people are actually pretty different (if we look at groups as a whole), will somehow get ignored or attacked (whereas if the same methodology confirmed equality it would be praised and quoted ad infinitum). To say that there are no formal clear-cut racial classifications in nature goes without saying. For instance, one could separate down to many different groups of white or black people (and where would Indians fit in that dichotomy?). Nevertheless, recent studies have shown that genes can be used to reliably identify someone's ancestry down to a small region (e.g., certain community in Scotland)–and yes there are genes that affect intelligence and genes that affect criminality. And yes, actually racial composition can tell us a lot about a community. Or maybe all those geneticists (mostly white) are just secretly r@cists!

Anyway, I generally agree with jefe's comment (though I think intermarriage won't be as significant as self-segregation, white/Asian flight, at least initially). US will devolve into a Latin American type society. Skin color will still matter, perhaps even more than it does now (interesting to take a look at the past dozen or so Mexican presidents, which is pretty easy with Wikipedia, and compare their complexion with the Mexican/Mexican American janitorial staff you may have come across in the U.S.–might be even more interesting to look at Mexican multimillionaires, who don't have to be elected).

Are blacks treated better in Latin America than in the U.S.? Do they have a better lifestyle and more opportunities? If blacks had actually thought this one through, they would be pushing to "erect a wall".

By the way, so the cartoon seems to make it seem like everything will be all right, ignoring the fact that the country was 90% white before the U.S. decided to let the world in after 1965. Does it seem like everything will be all right in the U.S.? Does it seem like everything is getting better? Do you look around you and see life in the U.S. getting better for the average person? Do you think that tacitly permitting massive illegal immigration from Latin America will help improve the quality of life in the country?
