The terms European, Asian, Oriental and Arabic are used to define the geographic region from which we originate, not just where we currently reside. Given cultural developments, they also define our behavioural patterns, ideologies and attitudes. They even define our food preferences.
Some may argue that we are all humans and should not be segregated in this way. Nonsense. We are all different. We all have differences which go to defining us in every way. Denying this is akin to denying that there are different types of apples in this world.
@Cierzo. it's a very good article, thank you for the link.
@Plobey. celebrating our differences is paramount. as is acknowledging them. which has to come first. we can't celebrate something if we don't first acknowledge its existence. however, once we acknowledge these differences we are compelled to segregate, if only in terms of labeling.
but that's not the point is it. the point is whether we segregate in the physical sense.
ever since the collapse of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, Europe has seen a massive influx of refugees and asylum seekers. this influx has exploded to ridiculously unmanageable proportions in the last couple of years. add to that refugees and asylum seekers from various African nations and the problem is not about segregation and racism. it's about the very survival of European ethnicity and culture.
@Plobey: They can be added if they are willing to adapt to the hosting country. No problem at all. If the picture would show kids of different races, I would thing it is about adding.When the 'new' Europeans are mostly adult and elderly people of not European origin, I know they are talking about replacement

That's a good point. But I don't think the picture is representative. At first both races will live there. Only after many generations of reproducing with each other, the "original European race" will gradually disappear, but so will the immigrant races. They will then be replaced by people with ancestors of multiple races and that has happened for millennia. That's what made the "original European race" the way it is, so nobody should be unhappy with that.
@Plobey: As I answered to another user, to grasp the full intention of the picture the article must be read entirely. I post the link in my answer to him. Nevertheless the picture is shocking and controversial, and not in a good way. It is not only race that matters. It is culture too. This is what is under a serious risk of disappearing.
