“A smaller population can be absorbed by the larger if the smaller allows that to happen, which it apparently is.”
Then why is Obama considered “black”? Not putting you down or anything. I just thought your comment was interesting.
I would answer your question by saying that a person with 1% black blood is considered black, but is that actually the case?
I don’t really know, to be honest, I’m just looking at this situation from a strict gene pool standpoint as it pertains to race, neither negatively or postively, but it occurs to me that if one was to place, for example, 15% of x species/ y race into a petri dish with 85% x species/ z race, x species/ y race may in fact be absorbed into x species/ z race via reproduction.
It’s a difficult subject to discuss, because people start frothing at the mouth at the mere suggestion of it, but I really don’t see any other result, realizing of course that for this to occur in reality it would take a considerable amount of time and generations for the absorbing to occur in total.
However, given increasing social acceptance of interracial couples and considering that original gene sources will die naturally at the end of lifespans leaving more and more mixed sources, I believe the origin source is placing itself at risk with this behavior.
