How do you view other races?

[knickballer]

The problem is that physical differences are so varied both between and within races that it makes racial distinctions meaningless. There are overlaps, just because one particular race might have a higher average - say in speed - doesn't mean that everyone in that race is faster than everyone in another race. There is overlap. The visual stuff (height, skin colour, facial features) is largely arbitrary and doesn't have much functional meaning in the modern world where we spend most of our time indoors benefiting from the agricultural, industrial, and technological revolutions.

I'm not talking about attributes like speed or strength as anyone can be possess those skills at birth or through practice.

I don't get your second part as well.. Certain groups of people do indeed have physical features that is common in their ethnic group. I'll bring back the Montenegro example. Montenegrin are probably the tallest people in the world, it's a common trait for them. The people have on average different skull shape due to their environment, etc.

I guess it doesn't hold much meaning in life but so don't sports?(is that your argument?)

Yes, Jeremy Lin is more Chinese than you sheeptard. His parents are from Taiwan.

You can be fluent in Chinese, live the rest of your life in China, marry a Chinese girl but you'll never be Chinese(ethnically at least)

Lin has never lived in China. How is he more Chinese than a Chinese citizen?

Yes, in the second part I am basically saying that even though they have different physical traits they don't really mean anything because their functions have become obsolete.

In sports you might find differences at those high levels, but they don't really apply to the population as a whole.

Whoah, I disagree with that completely. That is only true if you 100% base ethnicity on lineage alone.

My buddy sitting next to me right now has Turkish parents, but he is infinitely more Dutch than a child of Dutch immigrants who didn't grow up here will ever be. He has the ingrained communal understanding and values that you only get from growing up in a community.

Ethnicity or ethnic group is a socially defined category based on common culture or nationality.

White people are boring & fake.

Black people are ghetto & will rob you if you make eye contact.

Asians are nerdy & socially awkward.

Brown people smell funny.

I guess whoever negged me with this creepy comment: "i'd like to lick your **** leakage" couldn't take sarcasm?!?!
