We must stop using the word "race” as a cultural determinant and start using it for what it really is. It is a unifying word. There's no two ways around it. The Caucasian people will have to accept the fact that the changes of diversity on the planet are constant, and that we propagate ourselves at a higher rate. So as far as I'm concerned, people, come to terms with it. You want to really understand the future? You're going to have to understand that there's only one race, and that's the human race. Period.
