Yes this is a taboo subject, but do you ever think there might be some truth to it? That different races might have different xteristics? I just want your opinions, dont crucify me. Also remember its "the average" that it deals with, not the whole population.

Am not sure if I got what your question was aking but if I did then yes I think that the different races have different charactersitics. Had there not been such a thing then this whole race thing would be mute.

I mean everything apart from skin color. I mean Stuff like Cognition, sexual prowess, physical strength and so on.

I think most are stereotypes that some people then try to live up to. Am not however saying that stereotypes are based on nothing just that people exagerate some. For instance it would seem that Asians are avid learners who excel especially in math however one told me that only the best of the bests are allowed to come here to study.

@JayFK:
You're to be commended for bringing up this "taboo" subject. Like any other subject, the more it is discussed, the more it will be understood.

Personally, I don't believe that "race" exists. I have never seen, read or heard an empirical definition of the word as pertains to anthropology. ALL modern humans belong to the same genus (Homo) and species (sapiens). Of course, there exists extraordinary diversity among humans, as must be the case for any species to flourish (and humans have certainly flourished!).

The multitude of environments in which humans live influences many of the characteristics about us. And, by this I refer to long-term. But we must be careful so as to not misinterpret exactly what it is that those characteristics say about us. For, indeed, given characteristics are seldom observed with exclusivity to any one group.
