Hello. I think this is a very interesting topic, however, it's never talked about publicly, which is another thing that is intriguing. You know what I am talking about, this overwhelming pressure in the air that says we must not be evil racists who notice racial differences.
Anyway, I just think it's very conceivable that there are behavioral differences between the races. My reasoning: different races evolved under different environments, and they faced different evoluationary pressures. And as a result, they developed different traits in a lot of areas. This is so common sense that I think the real questions should be, "who are these people that insist races differ on looks only and why do they believe this crap?"
I mean the races are very different in terms of their looks. Is it really that much of a stretch to believe that they might differ in other ways, too? I proclaim that it is absolutely possible that they differ in other ways, including behavioral, cognitive, mental, and psychological. We are just too scared to talk about it out in the open, is all. And this is purely political. It has nothing to do with science.
An anecdoate: I am asian, and I constantly talk to my girlfriends about the different ways white people act when compared to our people. More specifically we discuss the ways white guys tend to act when it comes to relationships. And we talk about this stuff because even me and my girlfriends, who are no sociologists nor biologists, intuitively know that white guys act differently than asian guys in the context of romance. And I am sure in your casual circles, you have also witnessed similar talks regarding the different races and how they behave. You are just too scared to discuss in public, and this is especially true if you are white.
Do you agree with me that it should be ok to openly discuss about the many ways in which the races differ from one another?
I don’t think so. Even if there are some differences, they are most likely very minor. However, there are cultural differences which may be the exact opposites. There may be a chance that certain cultural trends are totally incompatible to other cultures. Heard that S.Koreans don’t like red writings on white paper. Someone from the west wouldn’t gibt a single flying eff about that. There you have a (minor) conflict. Another example would be the Japanese metro. Its silent AF, no one talks at all. Its considered rude to talk like on a oriental bazar. Compare that to Spain or Germany. It’s just an example of such differences which may be extreme in some cases.
