Wow, this post, is so wrong on all the levels.

To start, there can be no data of intellectual hierarchy of races since there is only one human race. There are cultural and societal difference along with differences in looks, but there is only one race.

You make it sound like equality is something inherent to culture. It's not, equality is a basic human trait and can be fought for anywhere.

Economy is the base of human interactions, so yes, an economic concept can cause racism.

And your last post is just stupid.

Are you saying that you are no more genetically related to your parents than to someone on the other side of the planet? Your argument is the equivalent of saying that your family doesn't exist. Race is just family writ large based on genetic similarity. Distinct population groups do exist among humans; we've experienced 50 to 100 thousand years of evolution in separate environments. It's insane to argue that evolution shaped skin pigmentation, bone density, skull structure, blood type, disease immunity, bacterial microbiomes, and much more, but left cognitive traits untouched. The only reason that people like you object to this reality is because you think that it somehow justifies the subjugation of other groups of people, a belief that is even more "racist" than anything you assign to the people you disagree with.

This is no reality. It's been scientifically stated there is only ONE human race. What you are stating is largely cultural and local difference, but that does not constitute a race.

And it does not justify the subjegation of other people. If anything, other people were named a race in the past to legitimize their colonization by the western powers.
