can anyone tell me some like genetic differences in race other than trivial physical and and cultural cosmetic differences
im just curious
cos to me it seems race is more of a socially /culturally constructed thing than a defining or dividing characteristic
?

So, according to you, what difference does matter if sex/gender, physical appearance, and social differences don't count?
Tell me what you consider to be important as a difference? Sense of humor? DNA? Taste for clothing? How long it takes to cook a christian missionary compared to a chinese trader?
If sex, race, gender, ancestry, society etc. don't strike you as important, then, why is your username 'pwincess' and not 'Shaka Zulu'?

haha
i remember what i meant
racism being defined as the belief that race has to do with difference in character
and sometimes the discrimination or supremacy
so does race account for difference in character
what tablets?
haha

Predisposition to certain diseases is a characteristic other than appearance.
