Which reminds me. Historicaly there has been a lot more racism by whites on whites than by whites on non-whites. Wouldn`t be surprised to learn the same is true in case of blacks and yellows.
Hey that's a pretty interesting point. The whiteonwhite racism never developed into overt slavery but britain vs ireland is about as bad as you get.

Britain vs Ireland? Well what about that little Holocaust thing? Trying to exterminate Gypsies (Indo-Europeans) and all that? All three ethnic groups Hitler was primarily after were white. (While the Japanese were "honorary Aryans".)

And it was in the US too. The 1924 immigration act was put into effect to prevent many more people from Southern and Eastern Europe coming in.

I just wanna say that I do not consider myself white, although I'm 50% Iranian and 50% Swedish, så my skin tone is a bit brown.

Nonsense. Of course you are white. Nobody`s skin tone is actually very white. Everyone`s skin tone is a bit brown, pink, orange, appricot, whatever.

"White" nowadays means all the people who can only be racists, but can never be victims of racism, so of course nobody wants to "consider" themselves white. They`re all rather brown, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, South Asian and what not instead... But Iranians are not just white, they are descended from the ancient Aryans, so sorry buddy but you`re a whitey and a prime suspect at that. What you "consider" has nothing to do with anything when we are talking biology.

Iranians are descended from the ancient Aryans yes, but ask around at stormfront or any other neo-nazi site and they will say that they even consider greeks to be "mongrelized" (lol, wtf). In Sweden atleast, I would not be ocnsidered white, so I have a free pass at being "racist" and so on. Oh yeah, this is me.

Yep, revenge method applied to removed generations.  Ancient practice.  Stupid one though.

Is there anyone who is 100% anything? For instance, I've met lots of caucasian people who claim to have 5% sioux blood or something!  anyways I've heard that there are no genetic traits that are essential to each race particularly so that race is a badly founded concept. Is this true or are there any books that can suggest otherwise (perhaps those cited by rothbard?).

Everyone is 100% human.

I think that "The Bell Curve" seems to be an interesting read.

The people who speak of 'mongrelisation' &c. tend to have a tenuous grasp of reality and are usually the dumbest of the racialists (SF, Neo-nazis &c. are literally speaking the low IQ trash of the racialist movement.) The funny thing is that some of these 'hardcore' racialist ignorami are themselves 'mongrels', they're just too stupid to know it. If your Swedish compadres don't consider you 'white' it is probably due to ignorance on their part. Sucks to be so stupid tbh. Guess that statist-socialist education system really does the citizen's well.

To darkness I condemn you...
