factual differences between different races?

Question

to anyone who intends to answer with some hippie bulls*** like "we're all the same, la la la laa", no, wrong. on the other end of the spectrum, dont just start makin sh** up because you dont like blacks or whatever. include sources if you can.

Answer 1

The traits that differ between the races are: skin color, eye color, hair color, degree of hair curve, height, build, head shape, facial features, other physical traits, blood receptors and other microscopic differences, intelligence, various physical and mental aptitudes, and character traits. The evolution of particular character traits in response to one's environment is called evolutionary psychology.

I also hate both the racial egalitarians and the racial stereotypers. Also, Winston, 1984 is my favorite book, because the dystopia thereof is ruled by people that are maliciously insane, just like the racial egalitarians and the racial stereotypers.

Answer 2

The essential question is nature vs. nurture, right? If you strip off all life experiences, is it possible to isolate genetic differences between races? Well, scientifically, we're ALL related. That's not hippie talk, that's simple math - there used to be a great article on Yahoo about it - when you consider the human population over the past 10,000, even 2,000 years, it's easy to see that all of us pretty much come from the same small group of people. Genetically there are VERY few differences between any two human beings. People sometimes talk of "purity" of races but it's just crazy talk - there's nothing "pure" about a race. Sure, there are groups of people today who are sort of geographically isolated and they tend to share skin color, eye color, etc., but it's all superficial stuff. Characteristics like temperament, self-discipline, intelligence, etc. are impossible to determine genetically, since environment has such a huge impact on personality. Identical twins raised in the same household can be two completely different people. Sure, it's possible that temperament can have some genetic background, but race is not a scientific fact (given the fact that we're all related), so it's impossible to say that one race has different characteristics than another. Maybe in our desire to define ourselves as people, we try to determine what makes us stand out from others - white, black, Asian, whatever. But realistically, race is more contrived out of our imagination and this desire than a scientific fact. It's probably not the answer you were looking for, but race as a fact doesn't exist. There are cultural groups, of course, and their combined history and experiences shape their language, culture, etc. Sorry if it's not the answer you were looking for.

Answer 3

Read the book the Bell Curve. It stated facts about the different races. People believed the book to be based on racists things but it wasn't. The people who wrote the book illustrated that there was a difference between the races intellectually. I believe Asians and whites were at the top. I don't exactly remember because I was a junior in high school when I had to read it for an AP class.

Answer 4

I'm not convinced that it's about the color of your skin though. It's more about the company you keep. If you happen to be black and choose to live in the ghetto, you will remain poor. If you're white and live in the ghetto, you're gonna act like a wanne-be, and be poor. If you're Asian or Indian, ditto.

However, if you're of any race and choose to get an education and/or a legitimate job, you will probably do ok (if not quite well) for yourself.

Answer 5

The color is different and maybe the attitudes because they feel that that's the way they have to act but If you really think about it I know it would sound BS but nothings different but the color because attitudes and the way you act is acquired in the environment you were put on. The racist people are just mean or something had happened to them to act that way.

Answer 6

There are more blacks in prison than whites. That is a fact !! More crimes are commited by blacks than by whites. Blacks keep racism going strong. You can't blame me because I'm white. I work hard for my living and don't look for easy money , like selling drugs or robbing a gas station . The most racist group on earth is the NAACP !!
