We know that we are different physically, so why should we assume that we think the same ? Not saying that one is better or more capable than the other, but is it a possibility that black and white, yellow and brown do not have the same mental capacities.

I do not see this as racism. Most of us accept that temperamentally dogs are bred in a way that give them abilities and mental faculties....e.g. sheep dogs, guard dogs. Is it really such a great shift to extend this to homo sapiens ?

Well, I would say they all have the same mental capacities- but culture has a lot to do with how you think. Obviously,someone brought up in the Amazon jungle is going to have an advanced knowledge of hunting and gathering, and their whole culture would revolve around feeding themselves, sheltering and relationships within their tribe- a completely different type of knowledge would be needed for survival in Western culture- as we depend on entirely different things.

Wow is that predicated on racism. People have all the same feelings and thoughts, read The Merchant of Venice. If you follow both science and history, you'll note that there have been several advances throughout history, perhaps during different periods, but none-the-less.
