    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

      Based on the way the meme plays off, the only practical way to get the tech would show you value life over technology, hence the option for none, if it’s not a consensus for none how could you expect that species to act responsible with the tech and hence the tattooing and leaving.

      Right, that’s what I was thinking : just try to pick the smallest race. I’m guessing the majority would try to do the same thing. Obviously you have people who hate other races, but I’m hoping that even if 30% have the same idea, maybe it limits casualties… unless we’re all allowed to Google though, I’m guessing most of us have different guesses as to what the smallest race is

        The smallest race is “human”.

        If the aliens were to go through with actually eliminating the most voted “race”, they’d wipe out everyone.

        I feel like sensible votes wouldn’t matter there are two many racists, it comes down to who the biggest population blocks are most racist against - and what counts as a race, like if it’s from a list of like five or six races then it’ll be different to having French and German rather than just European

      I’m saying none wasn’t given as an option so it should be assumed to not be

      People have to be aware of the small ethnicity so it’s going to vary by person
