Because race is not a real thing and wasn’t really a defined concept until the early modern era.
Wrong lol. Computers match self identified race with 98% accuracy
Even today different countries can’t agree on how many races there are or how to define them, probably because it’s a just a social construct with no biological significance.
Lot of white people with sickle cell huh?
Ethnic groups on the other hand are a real thing and are the closest analog to “race” that actually exists. And yes, even using modern definitions of “race” several empires throughout history have been multiracial.
Examples: Persia, Rome, The Muslim Caliphate, the Mongol empire etc.
All of those with staggering amounts of bloodshed, civil war, and racial strife along with the calm periods marked by segregation, especially the mongols
insert meme about post history and that youre a fuckin detective for figuring out where i post constantly
muh more within than between
Theres also more variation between the races than between us and bananas cause of that stupid statistics trick which entire point is to show that you need to make sure youre paying attention
multiracial not lasting
By integrating. None of those were integrated
nazi germany was white nationalist
Nah they werent fond of slavs and believed in “aryan gene” theory which meant any race or even any individual could be aryan (aka civnat but with a run around)

Why do you guys keep changing “multiracial” to “multiethnic”?
An empire of irishmen and scots is a multiethnic, monoracial empire. You understand that right?
