That sounds like contrived rubbish me. Yes we can pluck a dozen Germans off the street and you might find 5 different eye colours, 6 hair colours, a range of 30 IQ points, a priest and a thug, and over a foot between the tallest and shortest.
Yet show me a picture of any of them and I am confident I could roughly point to the region in Europe where their ancestors have toiled for the last thousand generations. Put them and a dozen Congolese in a group and a 5 year old could easily separate them into their two respective racial groups.
There is clearly a common genetic 'core' among people of the same racial group. There may be much diversity within it, too, but to use that to deny the existence of this shared heritage is downright subversive and disingenuous.
- dekhn 4y agoRather than shouting loudly on the internet, I recommend going and reading a bit more about genetic history. There are much more accurate scientific terms for eveyrthing you're talking about.
- wdbbdw 4y agoI dunno, go look at Barack Obama, then look at pictures of his parents, and tell me which group he belongs to.
- joak 4y agoThe common answer is Obama is African American (or black or negro). The reason is the implicit "one drop rule", if a white is contaminated with a little amount of black blood from their ancestors, they are not white anymore but black. The race classification of humans is racist. As the term implies. Many people arriving to the US are shocked to be asked their 'race', as if we were dogs. I never know what to answer, are arabs white? Are spaniards latin? Are ouzbeks from Caucase asian? Etc... This is non sense racist shit.
