Why do white people have so much more physical diversity than any other race?

Question

Whites have a multitude of eye color, and hair colors, types,and shades, freckles, pale white skin to golden brown, various height differences and facial features earlobes, nose, eyebrows. If I compare this to other races, the diversity that Europeans have is clear and unequaled by any.

Take east asians, they all look the same, one hair color and type, one eye color and type, same height.

Answer 1

Like I've been saying, it's so weird to me when whites say they're so diverse... Because some of the very same people who say as such also claim that blacks (and others) all look alike. According to that logic, whites are more "mixed"? Correct? So, then, why do we call people "white" and make claims of purity?

Doesn't make sense, in my opinion.

And, sorry, but what $0.02 says doesn't make sense to me either. I agree with him on a number of issues, but not this. Melanin deficiency? Well, then, if that's the case then all blacks with varying hair and eye colors suffer from it as well. Correct? NO! Varying degrees of melanin levels is NOT the equivalent of having a melanin deficiency. Sorry- Try again.

[And, before someone decides to quote me the definition of "deficient", please consider what lacking melanin would mean if you were to make such observations according to the EXACT definition of "deficient". I hope people have enough common sense to understand what I'm saying.]

Truth is there are no biological races. As I've said before, race is only valid as a social concept. The sooner we realize and accept this, the better off we will all be.

Answer 2

Are you white? If so, this will probably seem truer to you than it is to someone of another race. To a person who usually sees black people most of the day, white people look more alike to me than black people do. If I always stayed around white poeple, they would look more diverse. In general, I think everyone has the same amount of skin tone and facial difference. I mean there are so many shade of black people from cream to ebony, we all have different heights facial features earlobes, noses, and eyebrows you idiot. Get the hell out more. Do all black people have the same nose? Or height for that matter? The tallest people on earth are black Africans and the shortest people on earth are black Africans. I think the diversity in Europeans is more stark because they have so many hair and eye colors. I know most other races in this world have brown eyes and dark hair, and white people have ohter hair colors because of random mutations and sexual selection. Do note, however, that other people have different hair and eye colors. I've seen aboriginal australians with bright yellow hair and dark skin, and asians and black people with dark red hair (though this is real rare in black). And black people with eye colors like green, gold, or hazel, though that's pretty unusual as far as I've seen.

a protracted time in the past, there have been a great number of bands and tribes of folk wandering around the planet. The communities that had appropriate features survived and accelerated. in the Northern areas, some human beings lost the pigmentation of their pores and skin. This allowed them to get nutrition D into their platforms by using the solar. for this reason, they have been extra useful off nutritionally and fared extra useful than those with darker complexions. there became into much less intermixing of those tribes than in southern areas of the worldwide (by means of self-protection , inclement climate, etc.) for this reason, there became into extra individuality between communities. On different continents, there became into extra intermarriage and mixing of genes. even even with the indisputable fact that their coloring is comparable, they nevertheless exhibit diverse helpful aspects. a fabulous variety of the genes considered in Whites are recessive. as long as they are mating with an identical race and the dominant gene of brown isn't in the photograph, you will nevertheless see that variety.

Answer 4

I think some people believe that because if you're white, you're probably going to notice more of the differences between other whites. The same goes for the other races.

Answer 5

yeah i learned this in psychology...if you are white you are gonna think that other races look the same. If you are asian you are gonna think all blacks or hispanics look the same. If you are black you are gonna think all asians and whites looks the same. Im asian and despite the "they all look alike" thing i can clearly distinguish each asian; however, the i confuse zack, josh and billy and bethany, rachel, and lauren.

Answer 6

Because so many tribes back then took over other tribes. And so they mixed.

Diversity does not mean strong genes mind you.

Take it from a me, a pure blood. Ha! I kid.

Answer 7

the variety of hair and eye color is a result of varying degrees of melanin deficiency; nothing to brag about.

Answer 8

Okay, so White people get all the hair colors and Blacks get all the skin colors. I think I'd rather win in the diversity of skin color round, but I'll give you the hair color thing.

Well, let me see: White people - brown and blonde, Black people - black and brown.

Nope. Sorry, I think we tied in that round. So you get the eye color round and that makes us even. Nobody wins. We're equal.

Answer 9

If you really want to know why don't you ask a geneticist? On the other hand, the fact that you're a troll......

Answer 10

I dont know but all white people look the same to me....
