Yes,

You see long time ago Europe was uninhabited and humans lived in China and Africa. Things got crowded in China so a group of people moved south to India and presumable other parts of Southeast Asia. These people became known as the Aryans.

The Aryan race left India for some reasons and moved into the more hostile region of Western and Northern Europe. When one people leave an area to go live into another there are many reasons. But, when one leaves a good place to live and moves to a place where it is harder to live then it is probably because they were forced to do so.

So the modern white people, which are descended from the Aryan race probably got their rear ends kicked first out of China and then out of India. Is this the superior race that the Nazis were always speaking about? I see a major flaw in their argument.

Once the Aryan people left Asia and became Europeans and later Americans they changed greatly from their ancestors. However, deep inside they are still the same kind of people.

Of course if you look at it from the wide view we all evolved from the same single cell organisms so we are alike in that way too. The important thing here is that while our origins are different it is what we did later that became the most important thing.

Now days the Japanese are half a world away from the US, but the nation has undergone a huge change. If you go into Tokyo and ignore the language difference then it would be very much the same as if you were in New York. In this way we are becoming closer and closer again. The Japanese and the Americans have more in common now days then we did in the past. The cultures of America and Japan are growing closer and closer. We share our love of cartoons, fast cars, beautiful women, and high technological equipment. Japanese customs and practices have entered the American work place and the Japanese Industry was Americanized after WW2 when we helped to rebuild them. In Japan a lot of T-Shirts and other graphics use English because it looks good. We have yet to start using Japanese script, it is so very complex. But, words like Pokemon are forever part of the English language (Pokemon is Japanese for “pocket monster”).

Genetically we are only 5% different from the great apes. We share so much, but they lack our sense of understanding and our consciousness; our identity and sense of self. When you think about this then the differences between Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Aryans are few and minor. A skin color here, an eye fold there. Biologically we are almost identical.

Whites and East Asians (Chinese and Japanese) have similar skin tone because they come from regions with similar climate. The light skin of Europeans and Asians probably evolved independently of each other, as a response to similar conditions of climate and sunlight. Europeans are probably more closely related to Arabs and other Middle Easterners than to East Asians.

An interesting factoid. In the sixteenth century the Spanish and Portugeuse considered the Chinese white people, and the Japanese of the same time period thought of Europeans as dark skinned people.

I saw a documentary and I believe it said the Asians (and Native Americans) were the first to migrate out of Africa and traveled eastward, whereas whites stayed for a bit longer but their skin tone lightened really drastically due to being in the mountains in extremely snowy temperatures where all the dark-skinned people died off fast due to a lack of vitamin D. So, blacks.

We're all of us, black, white, yellow, red, related in some way. That's why we can reproduce and produce viable offspring. We're all the same species, Dude!
