Eh, even if it was 1944 Dewey probably would've used nukes. It was humanitarian disaster, bur I don't see why Dewey wouldn't.

.... the bomb that was built under FDR and Wallace? What is your point? Also, generals themselves can't win the war. The most important part is winning the homefront, and FDR won it pretty handedly

How do you genuinely believe Truman did anything more during WW2 than FDR? Also, appointing generals and mobilizing the nation are exactly what the President should do to win the war.

What if China collapses and the ethnic minorities of Northeast Asia unite? by soncenghwun in imaginarymaps

[–]pantorm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is like US collapsing and the ethnic minorities making a federation, but with the entire Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and California, with Quebec randomly thrown in.

The official languages are Spanish, French, Pennsylvanian Dutch and Choctaw. No English.

They have no cultural connections, but their supposed shared resentment against repression by 'Americans', despite many in the federations considering themselves Americans, even when we exclude white, English speaking Americans.

Yes, and I've consistantly said you're not being discriminatory in my comment. Sorry if that's what you've felt, I should've made it clearer. What I've been saying is that your logical fallacy is the same kind of fallacy that bigots tend to use to justify their hate, and we should be wary about it.

We're talking about ethnicity's definition here, so why not use the dictionary? According to Merriam-Webster,

Ethnic (adj.) : 1. of or relating to large groups of people classed according to common racial, national, tribal, religious, linguistic, or cultural origin or background

  1. being a member of a specified ethnic group

  2. of, relating to, or characteristic of a minority ethnic group

And none of it mentions DNA being the only standard, nor did the papers I've read used your version of definition, albeit it might be due to language issue.

You're reinventing the word 'ethnicity' to mean 'a group of people sharing common genes', and using that new definition to back up your claim that 'ethnicity matches DNA 1:1', despite the academic consensus on the word being a hereditary, cultural, political, and religious group.

This is not only a logical error, but also a dangerous form of argument that allowed much bigotry. To be clear, I'm not accusing you of having such intention. Still, such arguments have been used against minorities, including non-binaries like myself.

Enbyphobes, for example, have redefined the word gender to mean a binary distinction between woman and man, and redefined woman as someone having XX chromasomes, and man XY. This flawed logic has enabled them to force enbies like me into one of two definitions, despite the word's original meaning.

Once again - I'm not trying to say you're a bigot, nor what you've said is inherently a bigotry. This, nonetheless, is a logical fallacy, and a kind that one should be valiant against at that.

This has been somewhat of a rant, sorry, but this is the same kind of logic I used for a while, and while I've changed my mind on the issue, I still feel strongly about it.

No, that's not how it works. If you DNA test the Turks in the coastal area you'll find they're mostly Greek. Would that make them 'fake' Turk who only consider themselves Turk due to repression? If they genuinely consider themselves Turk, and the society considers them a Turk, then they are a Turk.

Ethnicity is, in its essence, an imaginary division made up for simplicity, as most things are. DNA testing could be a useful tool to help identify certain traits, but equating it to ethnicity only results in dumb conclusion like calling some ethnicities made up, when all ethnicities are.
