Okay, I don't if this might sound ignorant, but I just wondered if the Indians from India are a different race, like black or white. Or are they a mixture of various races? I'm not sure. On that note, what about Arabs and Mexicans? How many races are there in total?

First of all, let me point out that I am multi-racial, so of course I wouldn't be predjudice against what I am myself. I was honestly just seeking an answer to this question on the color of people. Of course I think that everyone is the same inside (same capabilities, etc), but I wondered about the history of the PHYSICAL traits of people form different parts of the world.

i dont think you meant your question to be raceist, its allmost getting to be like mccarthyism. youve got to watch what you say, or you are labeled. the only one i know about are the mexicans, explained to me by a mexican. it depends on where they originated from, whether they are short or tall, dark or light. some of their ancestors came from different islands, some from south america, and of course spain. hope im not called on the carpet for not calling them hispanic,but the many that i know dont like the term. it just another label.

India has had a deep courting with uk as an imperial colony and learnt English for that reason. even if, marriage remains uncommon. Few Indians recognize Spanish and it really is difficult to heavily artwork at the same time with the hispanic community with out understanding the language. maximum Indians are presented up in a convention of not courting beforehand marriage and artwork at the same time with one yet another in a collection putting for the most area, even inspite of the actuality that maximum of those obstacles are starting up to regulate. With countless interior sight languages, traditions and habit people more often than not don' even marry between states and between diverse communities between Indians. So it isn't an project of colour prejudice (even inspite of the actuality that this does exist, it does not avert very darkish Indians from getting married) or racial hatred yet more often than not custom.

There is actually only one race, the human race. Unfortunately, this race suffers from an inclination to reach conclusions quickly, without much thought or research. As a result, adaptive evolutionary differences between various members of this race led to the erroneous conclusion that different looking groups must actually be different! NOT SO. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a bigot.

That's very difficult to say. Mostly race is just defined by the level of sun in the area, Mexico, the Middle East, and India have more sun than Europe but less than Africa. Think of skin color as a permanant tan.
