What do you think race is?

Because to me, race is a shorthand for a fuzzy distribution of genetic predispositions that can affect a persons physique, behaviour and performance in tangible ways. It's a heuristic of a person's nature where the full analysis would be a battery of psychological analyses, intelligence tests and physical examinations followed by measuring and normalizing for environmental factors that can also affect those same outcomes.

The value of a heuristic is that it's fast and moderately accurate. The value of a full analysis is that it's very accurate albeit much slower. If you're not going to take any action based on the heuristic before doing the full analysis, then it's pointless to even consider the heuristic at all. If you're going wait for the full analysis (I.E. looking at the whole picture), you're losing a heuristic's only comparative benefit of speed. Your "thinking racialism" would be functionally indistinguishable from "racially agnostic decision making" with really bad PR and both would be incredibly weak at preventing "unthinking racialism" of an outside group from overtaking them.

"Thinking racialism" would only have any value if you think race itself had some secret innate and unique value that needs to be considered separately because no other considerations can encapsulate it.

Also you're out by one level for your supposed outcomes of "thinking" and "unthinking" racialism.

One nation one race is the quintessential form of unthinking racialism. You don't get a racially monolithic nation by considering race alongside other factors for citizenship. You get that by considering race as the only factor of citizenship.

And why the fuck would a racialist nation have some pathological need to conquer the world? Nobody wants to be at war and there's no need to enter conflict on the side of your own race in other parts of the world when your own race are all inside your own nation. What you're describing there is absolutist racial supremacy which is a whole different kettle of fish.

So:

"Thinking" racialism = early 1970s America where meritocracy still predominated and some racial disparities in outcome were understood to be acceptable if equal opportunity was demonstrated. People weren't segregated dejure, but still self-segregated to a large degree.

Thinking Unthinking racialism = a nation for every race and a race for every nation.

Unthinking racialism Absolute racial supremacists = we need to go conquer the world and spread our ideals and culture racial genetics through force no matter what.
