    Having to maintain a population is a kinda bizarr (hopefully not racist) concept. Humanities problem is not that we’re dying out because there aren’t enough humans …

      I don’t think it’s racist to talk about the practical necessity of parenthood for the species to continue, it’s just that a lot of racist people talk about it a lot with a specific outcome in mind.

        the only reason it comes up are for racist reasons - there is no reason to think the human species is dying out because populations are too low (it’s the opposite, to the extent that we might be threatening species survival by exceeding the population our planet, ecology, and food systems can sustain).
