Anything we post is going to be a stereotype. I'm black. My GF is white. People say I "act white" . There is no standard.

I heard that phrase is actually pretty offensive, and I can see why. Do you find it offensive/irritating when people say that?

Nah. I'm just me all the time. I wonder what people want me to do? Sometimes, people make it seem like speaking articulately, paying bills when they're due, and wearing a sweater over my shoulders whith the sleeves tied around my kneck (just kidding!) is something to be ashamed of. I am who I am and I'm happy. I'd rather "act white" than live the alternative.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still badass!

Facial features are different on average and Ive read the shape of white people tends to make them better swimmers and that black people are better runners on average due to physiology

Culture. One believes that everything should be given to 'em and the other thinks they can take everything.

Culture. Everything one group can do the other can as well. Everyone originated from Africa based on bone studies before the migration and everyone split up. We're all cousins.

There is also no such thing as race, its a social construct to separate one human group from another. We're all phenotypes.

phe·no·type

(fē′nə-tīp′)

n.

1.

a. The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, as determined by both genetic makeup andenvironmental influences.

b. The expression of a specific trait, such as stature or blood type, based on genetic and environmental influences.

2. An individual or group of organisms exhibiting a particular phenotype.

Genotypes are just individuals or organisms who come from a similar genepool and express similar outer features. Phenotypes are once genotypes whose outer appearance changed because of exposure to another environment.

Hence...once everyone left Africa they changed.

Different? Hm. I don't care, I guess. What's the point of mixing up millions of people and saying, "this is who they are." Isn't that mostly worthless? Individuals vary to an extreme degree and it's individuals that we deal with, not some artificial representation of all things Black or all things White.

Pretty much this. We allow for such a large variations between individuals, in-fact many people celebrate it, so why would we exclude other races for the same reason? Especially when those differences are almost entirely related to social influences.

I suppose the reason why is obvious. Said people are idiots :p They let an ancient (literally) "us and them" social structure manipulate how they see people. Gota protect the tribe, bro!
