The meme Castizo Futurism is used to describe the blending of Whites and Latinos to form a new ethnogenesis, as well as a rightward political shift among Latinos. A liberal publication describes Castizo Futurism as multiracial White Nationalism, as a lot of young White nationalist men aren’t actually White, with prominent dissident right figure, Nick Fuentes, having Latino ancestry. While many on the Right embrace Castizo Futurism, it is also used derisively by Alt-Right types. The embrace of Castizo Futurism signifies some degree of White demoralization.
Whiteshift author, Eric Kaufman, predicts that many minorities, especially Latinos will be absorbed into Whiteness just like Italians, Jews, and Irish were, though not Black people. Kaufman being half Jewish, a quarter Asian and a quarter Latino though White presenting, is a product of this. Thus Kaufman seems fine with this Whiteshift coinciding with civic nationalism based on preserving Western values. He just opposes any overt forms of White identity politics.
In contrast with Kaufman’s Whiteshift, Michael Lind advocates for the formation of a new blended American race and culture. Lind argues that this new American ethnogenesis is needed to save America from balkanization but also must be post-White. I reject the American Melting Pot and favor ethnopluralism or rightwing multiculturalism, where Whites retain a distinct identity within the framework of multiculturalism. However, there also needs to be room for mixed-race people and people in interracial marriages to form their own identities.
Using miscegenation to bleach minorities into Whiteness is quasi-imperialist but has been how America has prevented balkanization. This also fits in with Latin America’s racial caste system and the concept of Mejorar la Raza, or “improving the race”. Basically, Indigenous and mixed-race people can move up in caste via intermarriage with more Caucasian people. America’s future could very well be like Latin America’s caste system where upwardly mobile non-Whites assimilate into Whiteness by marrying White while downwardly mobile Whites marry out and cease to be White.
Interesting read. I have no position on this except wanting to preserve Western civilization. At the end, the author alludes to gene-editing but says nothing more. I am certain advanced IVF, gene-editing, and eventually some form of digital babies gestated in off-body wombs will completely change our views on race, lineage and ethnicity while also massively raising human IQ and health by promoting good genes and removing bad ones. What we are genetically today will live on only through our best genes and the whims of parents, if there still is such a thing, who will select their digital babies from catalogues. I see this as an optimistic thought. Conscious evolution bringing out the best in us. ABN
