Just for that Formation bit.

This is so sad

Also the amount of white trash I've met easily disproves this theory. Beautiful and ugly people and smart and dumb people exist in every race.

I love how there's a disclaimer saying I'm not racist, but you could literally find similar posts to this on racist Anthropology sites.

[Javan]

To directly correct you, w.h.o. No whites do not have a biological advantage. If anything they are disadvantaged biologically. Whites and Asians had a geographic advantage with less harsh climates and more resources thus more it was easier to for them to survive and make technological advances, that helped them conquer the world through imperialism. Imperialism and colonisation led to english becoming a global language, and facilitated hollywoods infiltration into the international markets. The beauty standards were reinforced by hollywood.

This is the simplified version tho.

Before this rightfully gets locked down, I would like to point the attention to the beginning of the first post.

***DISCLAIMER: So I'm not racist, and I'm not even white

This is a perfect summary of a lot of my interactions with people on ATRL.

1) The assumption that it's always white people that are racist.
2) The necessity to say that someone is not racist and fear that one will be labelled as one to show what they're saying as less credible.

Why is it that anything which isn't an idea of the left-wing is racist? And this applies to all those words: homophobic, sexist etc. That's a slick method of keeping the debate ideologically on the left. It always implies that something proposed by the left-wing is the only right solution which is not discriminatory because it's them who decide what is discriminatory and what is not. And what do we do if someone questions it? Call them racist or whatever else.

Political correctness is the cancer.

This is deeper than basic biology though. This is making the assumption that whites have this unnamed desirable trait over other races that gave them the ability to take over pretty much everything. And I don't even fully believe this, it's unethical and it's not something that could or would even be tested in this day and age.

The thing is that their is no clear definitive idea of what we consider race. Its more of a social construct than a biological one. Also I am pretty sure there isn't a "Race" out there that has something in particular that other races doesn't have in their population.

omg sis OF COURSE, just because white is the standard of beauty doesnt mean that it's true. That's not what Im saying at all. But somehow whites managed to brainwash everyone into making them it is

Basically it's generally understood that light skin was evolutionarily advantageous in areas with lower UV radiation because it acted against vitamin D deficiencies.

so you're saying that white people have some biological trait that makes them feel entitled and superior to other races?

hmmm...

You are answering your own question. This isn't about biology, its about our society and who's in control and who gets to say what is beauty.

ooooh, clock me. This is very true.

The middle easterners had the global power at one point. The Africans at another. The East Asians here and there. And now we're in the era of white European global domination.

[Badger]

White dominance was a combination of countless historical and geographical factors. There's no one reason for it.

If anything, the white imperialistic attitude that led them to oppress Asians, Africans, and Native Americans is the reason that they have this "power" you speak of.

[KareBear]

You think whites committing mass genocide and enslaving other races makes them superior? That actually argues the opposite. And you do know white "inventors" and "artists" basically stole most of what hey know or where influenced by things already created in Asia and Africa right? But they never gave any credit. White people aren't even considered the most intelligent race, nor the most physically strong race, not to mention the whole lack of melanin thing gives them a disadvantage.. yet they are superior.. ok

true but obviously these groups were isolated long enough to create noticeable physical differences. And if the color of your wings can determine life or death in a butterfly of the same species, whose to say it doesn't have any effect on humans?

especially in 2016 where the whole world is connected and there are more "mixed race" people than ever
