Democratic Presidential Debate

Then why don't you oppose intermixing between different native populations inside the same country?

See comment above; why don't you oppose homogenization between different native populations inside the same country?

I am not sure what you are referring to specifically tbh. Different native populations in European, Asian and African nations is minimal to unheard of as they're mostly homogeneous. Most native people in Italy are Italians, most native people in Japan are Japanese and most native people in Egypt are Egyptian, minus a few exceptions, etc...

A variety of different native populations are more prominent among nations that were founded by immigration like former European colonies like the US and Canada. These nations have mostly had a variety of Europeans from different nations immigrating to them at the 19th and 20th century making the countries more diverse.

As I was referring to earlier, the nation-state is only 200-300 years old. It's a patchwork of different tribes that were arbitrarily stitched together (through diplomacy or conquest) and forced to adopt a culture fabricated by powerful bureaucracies. These tribes or subpopulations have different genetics because they come from separate towns or regions. The cultural unity between Munich and Hanover is a very recent invention and would seem absurd to someone from the Middle Ages. Given regional dynamics, it's even likely that a Sicilian has more in common genetically with a Libyan refugee than with someone from Turin.

If culture is downstream from genes, and if maintaining culture is so important, are you in favour of preserving these subpopulations' genetic characteristics in order to prevent their ethnocide?
