You can't deny that there are physical differences that do in fact make us different. Just that the differences boil down to looks mostly so it shouldnt be used to judge one another. Everything from skin color to typical facial features and hell some races are more prone to certain ailments iirc.

No one is claiming that black people have the same pigmentation as white people - just that these distinctions are more based on culture and society than it is in biology.

No the whiteness reflects it back to the user doing bonus damage

Im just saying there are actual physical differences and race is how we humans chose to label them. We are still all the same species though.

If I found Yao Ming's skeleton out in the woods somewhere, I wouldn't even being thinking Chinese from height alone, lol.

Averages can be used to form hypotheses and guide further investigation though.

Favorite SW movie by a wide margin

lolwut
there are definitely biological differences between different races. not that its a reason to shit on each other but to deny it is to deny science and facts.

then how can people tell what race someone was just by their bones?

Although the concept of race has been thoroughly criticised in biological anthropology, forensic anthropology still uses a number of methods to determine the race of a skeleton. The methods must be evaluated to see how effective they are given large individual variation. This study used 20 cases of skeletons of varied provenance to test whether the nine published methods of race determination, using a range of various approaches, were able to consistently identify the ethnic origin. No one individual was identified as belonging to just one major racial class, e.g. European, meaning that complete consistency across all nine methods was not observed. In 14 cases (70%), various methods identified the same individ- ual as belonging to all three racial classes. This suggests that the existing methods for the determination of race are compromised. The very concept of race is inapplicable to variation that occurs between pop- ulations only in small ways and the methods are limited by the geographic population from which their discriminant functions or observations of morphological traits were derived. Methods of multivariate linear discriminant analysis, e.g. CRANID, are supposed to allocate an individual skull to a specific population rather than a major race. In our analysis CRANID did not produce convincing allocations of individual skeletons to specific populations. The findings of this study show that great caution must be taken when attempting to ascertain the race of a skeleton, as the outcome is not only dependent on which skeletal sites are available for assessment, but also the degree to which the unknown skeletons population of origin has been investigated.

I disagree there are physical differences between races. Like black peoples natural hair. White peoples hair doesnt naturally grow like that. Not normally I'll say just incase there is cases in unaware of.

I mean there are some biological differences thats why some ethnicities are more vulnerable to certain types of disease

but theyre honestly super minor differences that shouldnt effect how people treat each other

Modern biological concepts of race can be implemented objectively with molecular genetic data through hypothesis-testing. Genetic data sets are used to see if biological races exist in humans and in our closest evolutionary relative, the chimpanzee. Using the two most commonly used biological concepts of race, chimpanzees are indeed subdivided into races but humans are not. Adaptive traits, such as skin color, have frequently been used to define races in humans, but such adaptive traits reflect the underlying environmental factor to which they are adaptive and not overall genetic differentiation, and different adaptive traits define discordant groups. There are no objective criteria for choosing one adaptive trait over another to define race. As a consequence, adaptive traits do not define races in humans. Much of the recent scientific literature on human evolution portrays human populations as separate branches on an evolutionary tree. A tree-like structure among humans has been falsified whenever tested, so this practice is scientifically indefensible.

our entire species is xenophobic and prejudiced its how we have survived so get off your soapbox.

Yes. I don't see how you could do something like, say, classify the Irish as being stupid beings that aren't even truly human and NOT have it qualify as 'racist'.

*sigh*

Have you READ any actual history? Paid attention to basically ANYTHING regarding cultural history? Yes; you can be racist towards white people. In fact, it's basically only America that sees it as 'white people'. Ever wonder how, say, the English have felt about the Irish? Or how a ton of different cultures feel about the Polish? You can, most certainly, be racist towards white people especially since white people are not some uninified monolith with a singular culture and history.

It's like one of the signs that the person isn't actually an intelligent being but actually just some dumb college millennial who thinks slavery only happened to black people in America or that the guy who thinks abortions are wrong is about to try and start up the fourth reich to protect them.

Then you answered your own question.

So much fucking stupid with this
