Why are white people considered the superior race?

Question

Also, why is any lighter skinned person seen as higher than a darker skinned person , not just in America but, around the world. Chinese are "whiter" than the japanese or other asian races. The main cause of racism is the superiority complex of lighter skinned races. not because of other reasons.

Answer 1

We AREN'T considered the superior race! Please stop looking at color and see people for who they are as individuals! One Race! One Love!

Answer 2

Whites are considered the dominant race because, no offense, they kinda are. Whites descended from a group of albino humans and eventually evolved to the smartest and strongest race. Anyone who disagrees with this is ignorant of history and science. If whites weren't dominant then how did we so easily conquer the African race. (Food was more scarce in Europe, so don't use that as an excuse for Blacks being less advanced). Whites are strong because the cold weather enhanced muscle and upper body strength. Here is white nations that have changed the course of history and conquered the world: Germany, England, Spain, France, Portugal, the United States, the Soviet Union, Italy, and lots more. This was not racist its just truth.

Answer 3

People who work get tanned. People who sit under an umbrella, and do not work, don't. They will have lighter skin. essentially, this was an issue of class, I believe race and skin tone was added later on when cultures began to form cities. The White race considered superior because the West, currently, holds economic power, the majority of westerners are white. Before the west it was Asia, then the Middle East, but after the plague the power shifted toward Europe. Lastly, institution of slavery and caste systems lead to this belief, as ridiculous as it is.

Answer 4

Whites are an evolved form of blacks. Just as Polar Bears are an evolved form or the brown bear. I'm white and was born without wisdom teeth. My mother and father had to have theirs removed. I also have blue eyes. I'm living proof that evolution is still taking place. We are not superior, but you'd be a fool to argue that we are not more evolved.

Answer 5

They aren't. Look at civilizations like Egypt, Mesopatamia, China, the Maya, Aztecs, Incas, India, the Polynesians were the first to travel around the world via boat, etc.

Answer 6

Answer 7

We are not considered the superior race we are just like any one on the planet, Human.

Answer 8

Rashad GEEEEEEEEEE: This would only be your concept of the superior race. Not so. For me, the entire make up of the American national is of other races. Japanese, Chinese, American Indian, British, German, Turkish, African, Canadian, All others who may have came to this contry.

Answer 9

I agree with some of what you said, but there are dark Chinese people and light ones. I must admit though that it seems that lighter skinned people of other cultures are more represented. Some examples: there are black latinos and dark american indian latinos, but you don't see these represented often, even on latin american tv channels and the like. Same thing in many Asian countries. You tend to see more lighter-skinned Asians represented in the media than darker ones, to the extent that some people in other countries don't even know that really dark chinese, indians, etc. even exist. I happen to think that both dark and light skin is beautiful.

Answer 10

It could be argued that Mongoloid are more superior than Caucasoids just look at the inventions and civilization the Mongoloids had, Also Mongoloids were sailing and navigating the Ocean as far back as 6,000 years before Greeks,Phoenicans,Viking sailors. Mongoloids also have the highest IQ.

Answer 11

Because the white race raced towards capitalised while others were revelling in their superstitions which meant they were not as progressive so they got took over.
