What I'm saying is there are quite alot of important studies being carried out in genetic trends, genetic influence on personality and so on, which I am in no way against. Tying genetic studies to superficial genetic difference like skin-tone is limiting and obscures wider trends.

Yep.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

maybe people should be forced to go through a classification process to determine theri racial origin, and then we can work out which ones should go to the campsSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

Good idea. We could make people wear badges to signify what origin they were to make the police be able to tell which ones they should be searching.
Oh and of course, we would only let the most trustworthy and fair racial groups be in the police.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

I am not positing that genes have anything to do with my exmples. I am positing the opposite, they have almost nothing to do with it. Over time, the superior genes should have shown themselves by making one race or the other dominent more often than another. Since that didn't happen, we are left to conclude that none of the "races" of humanity are superior to one another.
So far, what we have is, "well, there are visual variations among the 'races,' so there may or must be differences in other areas as well." The problem is, if those differences exist, why haven't they yet been detected? Disease resistance is the only unseen difference that scientists can show at this point. Changes only spread through a population when the lack of that mutation causes individuals to be less able to pass on their genes.
You have to explain why the environment in which white people evolved necessarily made us more intelligent than Africans. Why would people of average intelligence be unable to survive the Central Asian steppes? Certainly, it's a harsh environment, but no more so than many other parts of the world. What is special about that area that it required even greater intelligence to survive than say, the SouthWestern US?
Then, you need to explain why these supposedly superior peoples took so much longer to develop civilization (and couldn't hold onto it when they conquered it).
