    Race has little bearing on success. Alexander the great, Rome, golden age of Islam were all mixed rose then declined.

    ALL societies flourish, decline, and eventually collapse.
    The amount of colors and sub-cultures in them has little bearing.

    Such nonsense is only put forward by people who are terrified that a single dominant race may not be dominant, or the dominance is slipping.
    And you get that worry from we whites.

    I think they would do quite well. Just look at when anyone has tried eugenics in history.

    Multiculturalism in a civilization leads to conflict. While having many ethnic groups and cultures living together is interesting, conflict is still inevitable. I don't understand why politicians preach "diversity" as if it were the best thing ever. Societies such as Japan and South Korea are racially homogenous and they're well off. Multiculturalism is not needed for a society to flourish. Look at Europe. Its governments are letting in millions of Africans, Asians, and Arabs into the continent. While this is not morally wrong, it's upsetting many indigenous Europeans. As the number of non-Europeans rise, the anger of native Europeans will only rise, and the number of nationalist groups will increase. Multiculturalism is not necessary in keeping a society alive. In my opinion, it's overrated.

    The Roman empire, which incorporated a wide variety of cultures over the course of it's existence, thrived only as long as it treated it's people as citizens, regardless of which conquered nation they came from.

    Once they began treating the new additions as subjects (rather than equals), taxing them heavily to support the opulent lifestyle of the emperor and senatorial elite, the decline began.

    The decline of societies is more often predicated not by what "races" comprise it, but by the level of tyranny exerted by their leadership.

    You must have variety in the gene pool and exchange of new ideas or else you will have stagnation which always leads to collapse. So having a variety of races and cultures mingling is advantageous IMO

    Multi- Cultural is the problem. Not race. When the Roman Empire got so big they couldn't control the Empire, they incorporated other cultures into the Empire. They had no dedication to Rome. The Barbarians, and others brought it down. Look at Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union in recent times. As soon as they were free from tyrannical rule, they fell apart and went their own way. Nothing will hold American cultures together once the original idea is dead.

    Sorry, this question is a non starter. There is only ONE race: Human.

    Almost every where is Mufti-racial. I don't know many people who aren't of mixed background. Right now our country is falling but it has flourished. Just another roller coaster ride. Just like everything else has its ups and downs.

    I think history would demonstrate this well. Mixed is definitely a harder more complex way to live and most are up to the challenge.

    I think you're about to stereotype yourself with your 4th or 5th posting on racism and stereotyping.
