There's a reason why no one wants to live in Somalia but everyone wants to live in the U.S, a reason why Europe is littered with the monuments of the Roman Empire and in sub-Saharan Africa you find mud huts (Ancient Egyptians were caucasoid), a reason why everyone in the third world is clamoring to get into the first world, a reason why the computer, the automobile, the airplane, the telephone, the locomotive, ocean-faring vessels etc. came out of the West (and these phenomena have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with a ~300 year period of time when indigo, cotton, and tobacco were produced cheaper because of "slavery"). The kids in the experiment you cite in the article you linked chose dolls of a certain color because there is a whole slew of things associated with that phenotype (not just social, but genetic things). No amount of "let's all get along kumbaya modern progressive B.S." is going to change that. The immutable laws of nature express themselves in the world around us everyday. We live in a time when it is not acceptable to acknowledge these things, or even question them. But the truth always wins.
mod note: Aside from being horrendously offtopic, and also factually incorrect from multiple standpoints, this post is unacceptable in a multitude of ways.
My opponent is at 20 life and has an Opalescence, a Demonic Pact (with all options EXCEPT "you lose the game" chosen thus far), and a Fugitive Wizard on the battlefield.
Can I choose to deal all 8 of the Fusion Elemental's Combat damage to Fugitive Wizard, in turn NOT killing the Demonic Pact (which should kill my opponent at the beginning of their next upkeep)?
Battlebond looks like a lot of fun! Love the direction the art has been taken for this set. It is so creative and new. WotC is really upping their game on this one!

I attack with a Fusion Elemental. My opponent double blocks with the-- animated as a 4/4 thanks to Opalescence-- Demonic Pact AND the Fugitive Wizard.
