Are all races equal?

That's why I specified biological effects, Jaguar Warrior.

[Shi Huangdi]

Genetically and physically I don't think there are differences between the races. However there can be cultural differences.

[Charlemagne120]

My answer on this one will be a definant yes.

The first thing that jumps to mind is the socialogical differences but thats not whats being asked. Then i thought deeper. Where do those come from?

It IS about biological differences in the long run because (not always but majority of the time) races will stick together. These eventually mold your mind against others and to think differently and act differently. So those BIOLOGICAL differences are what is the cause of the SOCIALOGICAL differences.

Everyone is equal.













Except the French.

Two points:

1. Races do not stick together, even a majority of the time. Bloodshed is just as common within races.

2. Biological and sociological differences may have a common cause: the environment.

Thank You.

Thus, racial profiling is a logical manner to live ones life, or as you may say being racist. Yet, I say it is prejudice, and to that I admit whole heartedly.

That is an obvious statement, and is really not contriversial... You want contriversy you have to say things like:

"What a silly response. There are defintly physical and genetic differences between races..."

See how that works, and by the way, I mean what I just put in quotes... prove me wrong, just don't use opinion, use observations, and even wide generalizations if you want... I did.

That's why I specified biological effects, Japher.

Sorry about that Sandman, I stand corrected. Yes, people with similar facial features and skin tone can be of different races.

to No.1 - BS, they do stick together a majority of the time, and yes I agree with the second sentence.

to No.2 - Hmmmm. You are starting to get my point. Should we, once again, look into the evolution of races?

Of course the environment is responsible for sociological and biological differences... That is what constitutes a race.

[Lefty Scaevola]

The genetic differences between 'races' how ever defined, are limited to climate/environmental niche adpations.

[Sandman]

Sorry about that Sandman, I stand corrected. Yes, people with similar facial features and skin tone can be of different races.

That's not what I meant. I am saying, biologically (not sociologically), skin tone cannot be related to intelligence any more than the width of the foot is related to eyesight.

to No.1 - BS, they do stick together a majority of the time, and yes I agree with the second sentence.

I disagree. There is at least as much conflict within races as between races. The constant conflict in Europe from the fall of Rome to the present day is almost entirely between 'whites', China has known many dreadful civil wars and the Indian subcontinent is split between Hinduism and Islam.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

They're not equal, but are supposed to be treated equally under most western legal systems... which is the main thing.

[DuncanK]

Appearantly we all descended from the same woman.

I don't know much about this subject. I used to think that children were born loving everyone regardless of race and you had to teach them to be racist. I was shocked to hear my 4 year old tell me the other day that he didn't like my neighbor because he's black. He definitely didn't learn this from around the house. At least I'm almost certain. Certainly not from me anyway.

[Master Zen]

Intellectually I saw we're all equal.

Physically I think there are some slight differences as many of how have noted, athletically and with respect to diseases and conditions. Still, I think they are not really significant.

How dare you shirk any debate on Apolyton with the flimsy of maintaining your health!?


Anyway, welcome to Cal's fetish topic -- AGAIN.


Poverty and malnourishment is what affect's people's intelligence level. Blacks have historically been more impoverished and more malnourished in all parts of the world. As a result, many of them have suffered from stunted intellectual growth and development.

There are always cases however, where blacks have even overcomed these obstacles and become highly successful.

In any case, race is not a factor -- poverty and malnourishment are the factors in intelligence levels.

Two thumbs up for that Che!
