"Asians"? Indian (south Asian) are more related to European ("Caucasian") than to East Asian. And South East Asia again is quite different.

The White/Non-White thing is stupid. Because, if you actually went scientifically, there would be three; Caucasians, Mongoloids, Negroids.

The white/Non-white thing is stupid fullstop. It seems to suggest "White" is the only race worthy of note.
loshea
There is only one race. The human race. And we display an infinite variety of melanin content.
katoid
Race is more than melanin. Skeletal differences can be used to determine race & these terms are still used in anthropology, esp. forensic.
ministerofpropaganda
And in that event, there wou;d be more Mongoloids than Caucasians or Negroids. People need to change their social conceptions.
LethalBubbles
if it went by population it would be mongoloids,caucasians,negroids.
ministerofpropaganda
Yerp.
smpratte
Also, race is a social construct, not a scientific one. Outdated scientific terms are irrelevant.
smpratte
You know those terms are antiquated right? Just as a rule of thumb, anything with the prefix, "Neg" is an obvious no go.
BrooksCB
The prefix "neg" has nothing to do with race/color/racism. Apparently you just decided it did.
smpratte
What subject of science do you study? The terms mentioned are not used today, that was my point.
GarageNG
You made two points. The first is correct, the second is not. If I showed you a can of beans labeled "frijoles negros," would you be upset?
smpratte
No, that is different. I only have 140 characters to express my thoughts. The negro point is english only, more specifically usage in the US
katoid
The negr- prefix comes from Latin and was never intended as derogatory. The "neg" prefix is used in the scientific names of many species.
GarageNG
As a Latin scholar, I don't know why this was downvoted.
katoid
Because people are more concerned with appearances than facts. =P
unhelping
Actually, if it were truly scientific, they wouldn't be in any of those.
uzerok
Did you know that Indians (the ones from India) are also Caucasians, despite their darker skin tone?
GarageNG
The current concept of race doesn't make any sense. Typically, it's just used as a surrogate for skin color.
ninjaguava
Ayran...Iran anyone?
Kinslayer2040
If you went by race it would be Human/Not human. Which is how it should be.
shortkitty
But that's not race, that's going by species. It's okay to point out the differences in people, as long as it's not malicious.
Kinslayer2040
Race is a made up social construct. We are all humans and we are all the same species/race. There is no biological/genetic difference.
shortkitty
True, but some people like to be a part of that racial group though. Like I said, race and ethnicity don't have to be bad things.

Um...there are actually quite a few differences, both biological and genetic, between races. A little research would serve you well.

I'd think it puts it more in perspective: we white people aren't as important as we may think.
Justpicturesofmacaroni
That was the dumbest shit I have ever heard. Nobody in this thread said anything about white people being more important than anyone.
smpratte
That feelings of guilt is what racism feels like for non white citizens. As a white male, you should reflect on social reality, not guilt.
Justpicturesofmacaroni
This is nothing like that. Not at all. I have no clue how you came to that conclusion, and apparently neither does anyone else.
smpratte
Yes, if you feel guilty it is because you don't understand. Just because something is downvoted does not make it true or false.
FauxReel
Stop projecting. I've got all the "good stuff" in the stats (college grad, food, elec, HIV neg, freedom etc) & I'm a black, African female.

I don't feel guilty about it. I haven't seen white guilt posts on Imgur, just Rent-a-nigger, Tyrone & that American chicken/melon nonsense.

I'm not sure what you mean by "projecting", but good for you! I don't really care what race or gender you are, which was my original point..
AnaximanderBolton
I hate those words. Caucasian implies the Caucasus Mtns, and I'm from nothing like the Caucasus Mtns. My ancestors are Irish, not Russian.

Yes, but the Irish and Russians share a common ancestral group that came from, yep, the Caucasus Mountains. ;)

1) Well, if we're talking about common ancestry, we're all fucking Mesopotamians. It's silly to decide we're going to go with

Hate to be the smartass, but the world is not a village of 100 people and the comparison breaks down once you try to extrapolate it further.

A much better idea would be to render the earth as 100 villages of 100 people, then indicate where in the world these people would be 1/2
LordZorgatron
2/2 and which percentages of the population would occupy each. I imagine the village representing north america would be pretty fatty, etc.

Simply put there are just too many different races to mention. If non-black had been used people would still moan.

White is a pretty distinct race.. non-whites all have the same hair/eye colour, and there are many variations, but it could say Asian/Black.
aHumbleVaudevillianVeteran
ridiculous and not true at all. you cant tell me that Chinese people look like West Africans who are identical to peruvians.
AskingTheRealQuestions
No but they look more alike than white people does to ANY other race, and you can't deny that. White people have unique hair and eyes
aHumbleVaudevillianVeteran
So do other ethnicities, the differences are just more subtle, and we aren't used to looking for them.
AskingTheRealQuestions
My point is that when a crowd of people all have black hair and eyes they look a lot more alike than a crowd with all shades of colours..
katoid
White people are the only people who matter. Didn't you get the memo?

Not really. There are different base skin tones that completely change a person's appearance, and even what colours they can wear. For (1/2)
