Human "races" are Functionally more closely related to dog breeds than anything else, but far less extreme in variation of features.
A chihuahua is more different compared to a great dane than you are from any other ethnicity of fellow human.
I guess we can eliminate formula one. Seems kinda boring to me.
I'll take F1 over Nascar any day.
Disclaimer: I've never sat down to watch either, but if the choices are "turn left" or "winding, twisting course" I think I'm going with the one that has more variety.
Massive F1 fan here.
It's more of an engineering sport than a driving sport. Don't get me wrong– the drivers are absolutely top notch and do an incredible job and it's entertaining to watch. But since it's sooooo engineering and development based, you cars that perform different on different tracks (cuz of elevation, temperature, track design, surface).
It's pretty neat; worth a watch sometime!
He said a race, not a racing series. Get rid of Abu Dhabi and we're good.
There is only one race.
[writes down "humans" on ballot]
I mean, in this scenario we've established that there's at least one alien species as well.
Guess I'm post-racism because my first thought was "mosquitoes".
Mosquitoes. Definitely those fuckers.
If I had to choose a race to be eliminated to get the alien tech, I'd go with potato sack. Some people might miss it, but I feel like it's time to let that one go.
Yeah I am not voting.
If they were really a benevolent species, they wouldn't play this mind game to begin with.
They sound Abrahamic as fuck
my answer is the same as bill burr's, people who go on cruises, nothing of value is lost
my choice would prob be a 15k. at that point I'll just do a half marathon, thanks.
I think they would say, "Ok you all voted for synonyms of human race so lets start the killing"
Reminds me of that Black Mirror episode when people could post names of people they wanted to be killed and every day the most posted person were killed. After some time, the man behind that killed all of the people who voted for anybody.
So in that killer's mind, wanting someone killed was the morally indefensible crime but actually killing ludicrous numbers of people is not? And he nor anyone else questioned that? 🤔
Aliens would be really disappointed to find out we already have blue checkmarks invented and people don‘t care nearly enough about it.
I vote for eliminating the greyhound race
Ah you mean racing. For a moment I wanted to argue that it's more humane to eradicate pugs due to their miserable health problems.
I'm concerned about the amount of people in this post that aren't just saying that None is the correct answer, but are instead trying to come up with a race to pick.
Half of Africa is going to have "French" tattooed on their foreheads, and they'll be even angrier for having a French symbol part of them.
"uhhhh I would just say none. uhhh I would just say the indie 500."
Really? Not the british? Come on I thought this one would be easy
the british and french need to be in equilibrium. if the british are suddenly removed, the french will have no natural predators, and begin to breed uncontrollably
I vote to be rid of rat race
Can I select all races?
yeah im gonna have to go with the human race
Why do i hear rumbling
Everyone who chose to purge the aliens are going to start a goddamn crusade
Chinese would probably vote Japanese
China’s neighbours would for China
Majority white and black would vote for each other
And nothing we didn’t already know would be revealed
Also when an advanced race capable of killing the entire species says “you must” do something then I don’t think it’s racist to vote and I don’t think saying “none” is allowed because it defeats the purpose of the experiment
You really think the majority wouldn't vote for "none", given it's an option?
Even if one were to think practically about it (if we all vote none, they won't share the tech or whatever, for the sake of they hypothetical), wouldn't most people just choose a super small ethnic group?
Like sorry Inuits, hate to say it but y'all shoulda tried imperialism lmao
I'd try and convince them that politicians are a race..
This is just the beginning of what could be a great movie.
I don't know what the actual direction the story goes based on this premise, but I wanna see it.

As there's only one race, I guess everyone who chose anything but none gets the human race symbol (???) tattoed on their face. Still would be fun to see who chose to have other humans killed.
Now, if the OP in 4chan meant ethnicity, that's a different story.

The definition of “race” varies widely between different demographics and contexts. In a biological context which you seem to be insinuating, “race” is either nonsensical or an ancient synonym for species.

What if, instead of a tattoo, everyone who voted just becomes that race?
The logistics would be tricky. Aside from the fact that race doesn't exist, people within an ethnicity don't all look the same. And would they still have the background of however they were originally born?
Can I write in "mosquitos" for extermination, or is it a multiple choice ballot?
