The Aliens did a little trolling

While saying, "stupid assholes there are no proper races of humans just color variations".

I guess we can eliminate formula one. Seems kinda boring to me.

There is only one race.

[writes down "humans" on ballot]

Guess I'm post-racism because my first thought was "mosquitoes".

Mosquitoes. Definitely those fuckers.

If I had to choose a race to be eliminated to get the alien tech, I'd go with potato sack. Some people might miss it, but I feel like it's time to let that one go.

Human race 💪

Yeah I am not voting.

If they were really a benevolent species, they wouldn't play this mind game to begin with.

my answer is the same as bill burr's, people who go on cruises, nothing of value is lost

my choice would prob be a 15k. at that point I'll just do a half marathon, thanks.

I think they would say, "Ok you all voted for synonyms of human race so lets start the killing"

I would 100% read this book

Reminds me of that Black Mirror episode when people could post names of people they wanted to be killed and every day the most posted person were killed. After some time, the man behind that killed all of the people who voted for anybody.

Aliens would be really disappointed to find out we already have blue checkmarks invented and people don‘t care nearly enough about it.

I vote for eliminating the greyhound race

I'm concerned about the amount of people in this post that aren't just saying that None is the correct answer, but are instead trying to come up with a race to pick.

"uhhhh I would just say none. uhhh I would just say the indie 500."

Really? Not the british? Come on I thought this one would be easy

Half of Africa is going to have "French" tattooed on their foreheads, and they'll be even angrier for having a French symbol part of them.

I vote to be rid of rat race

Can I select all races?

Everyone who chose to purge the aliens are going to start a goddamn crusade

Chinese would probably vote Japanese

China’s neighbours would for China

Majority white and black would vote for each other

And nothing we didn’t already know would be revealed

Also when an advanced race capable of killing the entire species says “you must” do something then I don’t think it’s racist to vote and I don’t think saying “none” is allowed because it defeats the purpose of the experiment

I'd try and convince them that politicians are a race..

This is just the beginning of what could be a great movie.

I don't know what the actual direction the story goes based on this premise, but I wanna see it.

As there's only one race, I guess everyone who chose anything but none gets the human race symbol (???) tattoed on their face. Still would be fun to see who chose to have other humans killed.

Now, if the OP in 4chan meant ethnicity, that's a different story.

What if, instead of a tattoo, everyone who voted just becomes that race?

The logistics would be tricky. Aside from the fact that race doesn't exist, people within an ethnicity don't all look the same. And would they still have the background of however they were originally born?

Can I write in "mosquitos" for extermination, or is it a multiple choice ballot?

Products and services that hide/remove that tattoo would skyrocket. Tattoo removal places would probably become super rich.

Aliens observing will think this already happened here. The chaos is real presently. I'm checking this off list of things to worry about.

That might be kind of convenient actually - racist assholes of all colours will label themselves and probably kill eachother while (hopefully) most of the population's foreheads will read "None".

The result would be a genocide, but this time you can identify the jews by not having a star of david anywhere on their body.

Sounds like a twilight zone episode

Immediately though of one of those races of dog or cow that's been inbred to the point that their existence is torture already. I didn't think of humans.
