Default Racism

So yeah, I see alot of those images on facebook about how our skeletons and skulls are exactly the same no matter what race, etc, not really sure what the point is.

Thing is, they aren't, are people too immature to realise races are in fact different?

I'm not saying they should be treated differently... but there are physical visible differences, and not just skin colour.

Why are people so afraid to realise it?

Yes diffrent races are diffrent but that doesn't matter, to me at least

I don't think any one is afraid to "admit" this

I didn't mean afraid in the sense "shivering in fear", if I point it out I get called racist...

I'd just like to point out that skeletons and skulls are not the same. Like finger prints, they're different for everyone otherwise facial reconstruction would be impossible.

That being said, i do agree that people of different races aren't the same, however no one is the same, regardless of race,age,gender etc.

Exactly what I said in a comment to one of those pictures, I even said that's how coroners can find out the race of someone even if there is no flesh left, but I was called racist for pointing that out and my comment removed...

People freak out over all kinds of shit, if you say you don't want to be called gay cause you're not, whoops homophobic. If you say races are different, racist. -.-

People need to grow the hell up and toughen up. I mean, people like that always calling others racist or homophobic then go on and preach hardcore about individuality and everyone is different blah blah blah. We're different yeah, but ya know what stereotypes are pretty much true. You don't have to be offended by the big band word stereotype. I mean, like it or not we pretty much ALL fall into categories, and so what? every person with half a brain on this planet gets people are different, even while in a stereotype category. Everyone is so scared of being labeled.. well, if they're labeling you correctly then who cares? If your scared to be known by that then you should maybe look at the actual issue and if you really are that. Labels is just a way of identification. It's easy for people to be "I"m straight" or "I'm gay" then, "I like males both sexually and romantically." It's annoying. Stop being scared of labels. So you're known as gay? fine. you're gay. but not everyone is big bad and out there to see every gay person as the same, someone says you're the stereotypical gay person.. uh so what? you want to be normal yes? you don't want people to treat you different because your gay, yes? well there you go. You were called normal. Stop complaining about labels and stereotypical and shit lol.

If that were the case then we wouldn't be able to tell the race of a person based on their bones.
The thing about skeletons and skulls and all that being the same regardless of race is BS. As was pointed out earlier about facial reconstruction plus each race has 'identifiers' in the skeleton of sorts that help to identify race just based on the bones. I forget what all of them are exactly but I remember seeing somethings about it when I went to Body Worlds (which is, more or less, dead bodies stripped of their skin so you can see the muscle and everything) and when I went to the Smithsonian.

Yeah, there are differences.

Anyway, it's rather pointless to do such a thing. Difference isn't a bad thing, there's nothing wrong with having different races, we don't have to pretend to all be the same on the inside. Because we're not.
Lack of sameness, however, doesn't mean we're not all people. Since we're all people we deserve to be treated as such. You know, instead of wasting time spouting nonsense that isn't even true.

I think the original OP's on fb didn't mean the skulls are EXACTLY the same because even if you put two white people's bones together they wouldn't be the same. I think they more so mean the skulls are the same structure we all having, making us all the same. Even though we look super different in skin or whatever.
