Please define on which standard you are discussing this subject. If you want to discuss this scientifically, then let it be alone, but if you want to discuss it ethically, then that's a whole other story. You contradicted yourself because you mixed the two. You said that we are physically different, and then you said that we aren't different.
Does that make sense to you?!
If you want to discuss this matter ethically, then yes, I'm by your side. We shouldn't speak of races and make any more walls between the human societies, and we should preach that we are all the same, thus we are equal. But we can't lie and say that all humans are scientifically, totally the same for our cause. Because that's not true.
It's true that we are the same kind, but we have differences, and big ones. Cultural differences that result in mental differences, and environmental differences that result in physical differences. The antractic wolf isn't the same as the normal wolf, and the cat isn't the same as the tiger. There are hundreds of AIDS viruses, but if you fight them all with the same antidote that worked on one, you might kill the person infected because its function might go oppositely with the other types. So yeah, scientifically speaking, you can't but consider the differences, because they do count, and they do exist.
I guess I should have been more clear. When I said we were the same, I meant mentally, not physically. It wasn't a mix of science and ethics. It was merely a lack of specification. And by mental, I meant inherent mental, not environmentally-determined.
With our environmental aspects then everyone is the same because we are just simply breathine walking bags of flesh. There is no mentality besides instinct if environment is removed from the picture.
How subjective are those differences? Not very. While they're not 100% in all cases, the stigmas about race there for a reason. You're from Romania, right? Probably not a lot of other races there besides caucasian.
I live in south Florida, which is a huuge mixxing pot for hispanics, blacks, whites, and even amerindians. The stigmas for race exist and for the most part are true. The track stars at school are black. The smart kids are Asian. The hispanic kids play it cool. The Indian kids are socially shut out.
Of course there are exceptions, but You'd also be surprised to know how many people act according the stigmas and make themselves into stereotypical people
But they are still subjective. There are smart blacks, stupid whites. Smart whites, stupid blacks. Fast blacks, slow whites. Slow blacks, fast whites and so on.
