Dont you think Indians from India would be a seperate race from other asians in general?
They are; under this system, they're considered caucasoid, ie white.
And that American indians and especially south American indians would fall under this?
No; they're all considered mongoloid, ie asian. They are the descendants of asians who came across the Bering Strait god-know-how-many millenia ago to populate the continents of North and South America.
Pacific Islanders are also considered "mongoloid" under this system.
The concept of races still exist, perhaps with the sensitivity in the US in the 60s you were forced to stop using these concepts completely.
Well,
I wasn't; I was born in 1974. Like I said, I think I read about this in some old books or something.
There are large genetical variations between the races of about 0.008%..
There are no "races", especially in the US; don't know about anywhere else.
All black people here have some white blood, unless they emigrated from Africa within the past few decades. Nearly all white people have some native American or other blood.
There are as many different "genetic variations" as there are people. If there are any at all, which I kind of doubt.
Can you deny that black men in general have a superior physique to white men?
Yes, I do deny it.
I've seen many, many men of both- and in fact,
all- races naked, up close and personal.
I do deny that any one race has a universally "superior" physique.
Black men, beyond earliest youth, tend to carry a good amount of body fat, which can't be healthy. Then again, so do white men and hispanics. And black men suffer from all the attendant illnesses and disabilities that accompany being overweight- diabetes, hypertension, certain cancers- perhaps even disproportionately. I don't believe this is a matter of ethnicity, however, but a matter of socioeconomic class; the poor tend to be more overweight and less healthy in our culture, and many of the poor are minorities.
It's pretty much a biproduct of Western culture, I believe, that affects men and women of all ethnicities.
I know that a certain class of white men- mostly the poor and uneducated sort- often
fear that men of other races are physically superior, stronger, more masculine, healthier, and more virile; but they aren't. All men are the same (which is to say, each individual man is
different, regardless of his race) and I have a theory about why white men have this inferiority complex; it has to do with darker genes being more dominant, and white men subconsciously fearing that their genetic characteristics will be bred out of the human population by darker men. In fact, however, this is silly, since people retain the genetic characteristics of
all their ancestors, regardless of their superficial appearance such as their skin tone and whether their eyes are blue or brown. Do you really not think Obama is as much a white man as he is a black man?
And do you believe race plays NO ROLE AT ALL in how nations have developed socially and economically?
Yes, I really think that. I believe factors like climate, geography, and history of colonization determine how nations develop.
If you think so I suggest you fall back to the first grade and get a completely new education.
I doubt that's a feasible option, at this point.
There are SO many examples that race plays a large role.
I disagree.
