This talk of culture is simply backwards thinking. Boundaries, borders, color lines, etc. They all boil down to one thing and one thing only: inefficiency. Some may proclaim that culture should be recognized, understood and appreciated. I, too, seconded this motion by claiming that individual cultures should be learned from and valued. However, impartial logic led me to no other conclusion than the fact that we humans are only slowing down the fate that our genetics has had in store for us millennia before we were even conceived. Let me explain.

Perhaps you are considering the harshness of my words. I too felt that way and still do, paradoxically. This train of thought originated many months ago, right after I had written an article describing the patheticness of Asian males in the eyes of Asian females. Sitting atop Bruin Walk, my view was one of a researcher, observing the primitive species of the land. My eye was caught by a Chinese woman who giggled whimsically while attaching herself to the arm of yet another Caucasian guy. I felt a crick in my neck, unsure of its exact etymology. As another couple of the same composition followed and another and another, I felt a fever coming on. It was at this very moment when it occurred to me, "why be mad at all?" What in Chinese culture was I trying to preserve? Chinese food, Mandarin, Kung Fu? The only trait in my culture I found worth saving was loyalty and commitment. Seeing the irony in the scenario that made me feel such a thought compelled me to throw loyalty out the window. The question left again was what was there to be mad about saving? Others have come to me asking, "If Asian girls don't care about saving the culture, why do you?" For which I had no competent answer. It was then that I saw myself as a dinosaur, hanging onto the Jurassic. The wave of the future, far, far down the line will inevitably be a people of the single conglomerate master race. I was only getting in the way.

Is this an indirect offshoot of Hitler’s Nazism? You could call it that, arguably. I simply am describing what I saw. However, stand back a moment and imagine this world of the future. Racial slurs, mass genocide, affirmative action and perhaps even religious wars would be completed non-existent. Anything problem that hinges on the idea of race would be irrelevant because everyone would be “gray.” Not yellow, brown, black, white or green, but just gray. This is not to say that Utopia will have been reached. Politicians will still quibble, monetary/societal status will flourish, and people with radical ideas will still be condemned for being unorthodox. The human race, however, will have taken a considerable step forward in its evolution. Modernly, we expend profound quantities of energy nitpicking over what pigment our skin contains or which candle we light for who on which day. All the while, the blackest African shares multitudes of genes with the whitest albino. Any high school anthropology student knows this and yet racial hate crimes continue unabashed. Not simply a loss of efficiency, but in my humble opinion, a jackass thing to do.

The point of all this is to urge every reader to turn away from your computer terminal and find a person of different ethnic background to mate with. And do it fast because every second we spend getting hung up on race is another degradation of our pathetic infantile species.

However, Chinese Food is rather good…
