No, I said that they state that this is what they do. I said that this was their claim. I didn't claim that this was correct.
That's true. But the concept doesn't have to be scientifically valid to be a reason for discrimination or privilege. Jim Crow and the Nuremberg race laws simply referred to what was considered race science at the time.
True, but that doesn't negate anything
that's sure as shit not how states present themselves, though.
Let's take Germany as an example: There is a high percentage of german mitizens of Turkish decent who have been living in Germany for generations. Many of those people have German citizenship. Sure, there's still racist discrimination going on, but these people are german, as far as the state is concerned. It's actually illegal in Germany to discriminate people based on ethnicity, so technically, only the passport should be taken into consideration.
The meme is mainly based on how Germany presents itself.
