3. I bet you're caucasian...
No society or group within a society should be allowed to discriminate based upon race, or ethnicity or any of the other scientific bullshit you can try and come up with to justify apartheid.

If I want to live in a neighbourhood, I don't give a fuck whether it is mostly Chinese, mostly European, or mostly Native American, the only thing that should matter is whether I want to live there or not, and whether I can afford to buy or rent a house there.

This is not to say that my neighbours are forced to be less Chinese, European or Native American this merely means that what they are, has no bearing on what I should be.

As for mating, there are no, nor should there be any restrictions on who I can mate with, nor should the be any on anyone else. If some Europeans only want to mate with Europeans, then that is their choice, but they sure as hell can't tell other Europeans that they can't mate outside their race.

Although it is couched in scientific terms, all you are suggesting is the old "seperate but equal" and "race purity" lines. You may not think it, but these are typically racist viewpoints, both of which should be abandoned completely.
