Evolution magically stopped operating on human population groups about 50k years ago. And that while animal and plant subspecies differentiated in the span of a few thousand years vary measurably on various innate behavioral and physical characteristics, human population groups are COMPLETELY exempt from evolved behavioral propensities. Because magic, or something. To not believe in magic is, of course, racist and evil.

When you can craft the environment you exist in, the evolutionary pressures on you are correspondingly weaker. Have you wondered how mental disorders or chronic diseases still exist? You're not dropping any pills, you just sound like you talk about things you don't understand.
