Preserving race is essential to preserving culture? Believe it or not, not everyone thinks so - even people supposedly interested in cultural preservation.
I posted an image on a white_racialism livejournal community with disapproving text:
they're everywhere...

...the fuck are you people dragging the Saami into this? They are a minority themselves, with a history of discrimination from us Scandinavians in all our superior blonde glory. I don't think they care about matters of race and I seriously hope they won't start to. Sheesh.

I post this as a Uralic person of partial Saami descent who is concerned about the future of Finno-Ugrians and other Europeans.
Minorities should care when they threatened with extinction, especially people who are as genetically distinct and historically ancient as the Saami. Are you actually maintaining that if all [Race A] somehow became [Race B] they would be the exact same people? Preserving one's race goes hand-in-hand with preserving one's culture, as it is different races which give birth to cultures in the first place. Racial characteristics exist due to climate differences and culture is largely due to climate. No two races/climates/cultures are as different from one another as the Arctic peoples and black Africans. To assume that you can switch the two, or mix them, and say they are equally capable of bearing (and transmitting to future generations) one another's culture is ridiculous and insulting to the uniqueness of both groups.

A true racialist celebrates diversity by seeking to preserve it, out of respect for all and for the good of all. An anti-racialist celebrates only certain kinds of diversity while cheering the destruction of another.
Preserving race is essential to preserving culture? I think so.
