Will interracial sex save humanity?

The other day, I received a forward in my email from this crazy friend of mine on interracial sex. Well, being my topic of interest I went ‘finally something I can blog about!’ When I got reading, I thought – now this is one crazy topic… How in the world is interracial sex related to humanity? Why would anyone in their right minds come up with such a crazy thing? Hold up peeps coz this is one of those crazy rides.

Given the hatred and hate crimes surrounding interracial dating and interracial sexuality, I am not at all surprised to hear about all the hatred and negativity that still surrounds race and the mixing of them. So let me explain how this “mixing of races� will save humanity… as the email read.

Let the biology class begin ;-). DNA is nucleic acid that contains all of our genetic makeup… that thing that gives us eye color, height, build and also genetic predisposition to disease, retardation, physical abnormalities… I’m sure you remember that DNA is encoded in every single cell in our body… not to mention the sperm or egg.

When someone has a genetic disorder or pathology, for this to be active, both pairs of the DNA have to contain the mutation. If a person carries just one gene that is imperfect and the other gene is normal, the disorder will not be present, but this gene is still carried and can be inherited by the offspring. Hence, when both parents have the disorder present, or they both carry the same hidden or recessive gene then the offspring will have the disorder.

Having said all that mumbo jumbo, it seems that having two sets of very different genetic make-ups is essential to not inheriting a genetic pathology. Its no wonder incest is a big no-no in the genetic sense.

Most people say there are enough variances within our own race to avoid the horrendous thought of “mixing the races�. However, with all these genetic weaknesses building more and more of a stranglehold on our species, we need to copulate with vastly different genetics to our own. This way, we get to ensure that our genes stay as varied as our ancestors’ genes hundreds of years ago. And what better way to do this than to copulate with someone from Africa or god knows where. This way, you get to avoid genetic weaknesses within your gene pool from multiplying from generation to generation don’t you think?

Well I guess it’s high time you dumped your same race partner for the best in interracial relationships… just kidding But if you really think about it, shouldn’t we thank interracial sex for its contribution to strengthening the human race as opposed to directing hatred to the ones that do have such relations?
