i think i offer a unique perspective in "right-wing circles."
the thing is i wish there was less racism in the world. while i can acknowledge that race is real, and we can observe patterns about racial groups, i don't think that justifies hating people on the basis of their skin color. i didn't choose to be asian, neither did any of us choose to be born into the race that we were born into. i find it unethical how some right-wingers use race-realist conclusions to demean an ethnic person. just because their group on average has a lower IQ or more prone to violence. they didn't choose to be born into that racial group or the IQ that they have, as well as why should one individual shouldn't be responsible for the collective. browsing these right-wing sites, made me more empathetic towards people in the long run, and made me try to see people as individuals (even if i could observe behaviors and patterns amongst groups). in short, that is why i'm not a racist.
some of the ways i think politically comes from that foundation. to decrease the amount of racism in the world. ideally, i wish we were a colorblind species, and saw individuals for who they were instead of their skin color. however, as i've matured and grownup, i've begun to see the reality of things. most people are unwilling to compromise with other ethnic/racial groups, for fear that that would diminish the power of their own group (i'm not saying that's entirely wrong). we humans are tribalistic in nature and always going to prefer those that look like us. this leads us to hold bias or sometimes even vitriol towards other groups of people. if different groups of people share a territory, this worsens that problem because there has to be a government that accommodates the wants and needs of all racial/ethnic group it occupies. of course, a country is never going to be 100% white or asian, but more diversity naturally worsens this problem. because of this unfortunate reality of human nature, i oppose diversity or multiculturalism. i don't want to see any more conflicts/deaths from racial vitriol or hatred. in an idealistic world, i believe in all countries being ethnostates of some sort (while maintaining communication), to lessen the impact of the inevitable consequences that multiculturalism/diversity brings with it.
in this way, i've started to empathize with concerned Whites that talk about the Black-on-White killings, as well as African Americans that rightfully complain about certain racists, generalizing individual African Americans, as well as seeing them as less than.
