Biologically speaking, yes. White people by nature have a higher tolerance for colder temperatures simply because of their natural environment. Furthermore black people have a higher tolerance for the suns radiation. Finally the average size of social groups in race affects intelligence in a race of human: the larger the cities the higher the average I.Q. of the race.

Well, white people certainly have advantages in Western societies, but I don't think that's what you mean. Other than that, Inuit people are better at living in cold environments on little vegetable matter, and black people don't burn as easily as white. Really, though, most of the advantages are relatively minor adaptations to environment, none of which has resulted in major differences. I mean, yeah, I'll burn quicker than a black person, but I won't shrivel up and die if I moved to the Sahara. Nor would I freeze to death in the Northwest Territories as long as I took the same precautions all humans must take.

Your basic premises are somewhat flawed, as well. Africans vary incredibly in height, far more than people in any other continent. You have the Mbuti on one hand, averaging around 4.5 feet tall, and you have the tribes that tend towards the six to seven feet tall range on the other. I'm not sure where you're getting that whites are so socially organized, because, well, warlike and belligerent, yes, but we're no more organized than any other group.

I have worked at door to door sales for over 20 years.and the different races have different characteristics.for example. black people like it short and quick. they make there mind up quicker.and will tell you to come back if they don't have the money right then.white people will not tell you to come back.usually. not wanting to admit they don't have the money I guess.people from India will usually say no. but if you push it a little they usually change there minds.Arab people most always say no.I will never forget about this very little black boy who came out of a store crying mommy . saw his mother and ran like a person who ran all his life . a real athlete. I thought how if that had been a Little white boy he would have fallen a couple of times ruining like that.I am white by the way.I am sad though about black folk in that the men and boys can be so violent. they kill each other in vast numbers every year in the U.S. in Jacksonville fl where I live now.its an epidemic. about 160 blacks have been murdered this year by other blacks.But they were slaves just a few generations ago.so this can be understood. I pray for them.and support anyone wanting to make it in life.Peace.

Biologically? No.

Culturally? Sure, but mostly because of people who take too much stock into the idea that certain races have innate (biological) advantages.

There's no nice way to say this, sorry. The idea that, for instance, black people are more athletic while white people are more socially organized is a total load of crap. Bigots like to reference studies (very biased studies) from the 19th Century to support this idea. Pretty much all research since the 20th Century has proved the opposite. Ask your friendly neighborhood anthropologist. He'll tell you the same, and it's his job to know this stuff.

Yes, as a white women, I think black women sing better ( look at all the black female singers out there hitting impossible notes) and seem to be a lot more creative with their hair. And Asians always seem to have a natural grace.

Just generally speaking but at the end of the day, we're all equal.

Sure the physical stuff is obvious. All you have to do is look at the NBA. Tall with long arms and legs will get you a free ticket to the NBA- talent is secondary. This is a trait that more blacks have than whites. As far as thinking abilities, I believe that we can all learn and excell no matter what background we come from.

Caucasian people are better adapted to living in the northern latitudes; Dark Skinned people are better adapted for living along the equator. Differences in physical traits are a function of evolution and culture.
If you think this post is racist than I seriously suggest you do a little research into why people are different.

Some do have it slightly better than others in specific areas.

For example, African Americans are much more prone to Cickle Cell Anemia than Caucasians, and I've heard Caucasian women are more prone to osteoporosis.

This doesn't mean either are better, just that we have different genes (which we already knew any way)

The Daytona 500 is much better than the Indianapolis 500

What races are you referring to? I only know of one race that meets the standards as socially organized....humans.
