There is no benefit of maintaining a race, and there is no harm if a race disappears (passively, that is). Race is really only based on a handful of genes anyway, it's really not that important.

I do not agree with you, Paul John; by definition, I cannot. But I do think that the title of this thread actually could signal a fruitful debate for anyone interested in racism, race and ethnicity. In today's Western societies the tendency of political correctness clearly allows anyone but the whites to be proud of their race/ethnicity. A "proud to be white" t-shirt sure as hell will cause some different attention than a "black panthers" t-shirt would.

I personally reject the arbitrary social-cultural construction of 'races'. Such categorisation is designed to create races.
