I agree that KoLo is simplifying the situation here, but he's right.

And they have all been racist studies. I hope you try to prove me wrong here. I'm willing to admit it if you find one, but I don't think you can. (what i mean by 'racist' is that they wanted to show that race is somehow important - at least that's how i define racism)

I can't find scientific proof, because in order to do that I would need a scientific definition of "black" and "white". There is a scientific definition of Asian... Just be from the continent of Asia (of course that doesn't mean your ancestry isn't South African).

What is black. try to define it. Is an Egyptian black? Only some Egyptians? Are those the ones who you would look at and say "They're black"? But not the other ones, the more Arab looking ones. You know they all have very similar ancestry right? as similar as two "blacks" from Nigeria. as similar as two "whites" from Sweden. So what is it? Yes? No? Maybe? Half and half? Saying an Egyptian is half black half white is like saying a Chinese person is half American Indian, half European. Or half Indian, half Russian.

Racial theories are their own evidence and their own consequence. Other than themselves, they have no backing or consequences.

Okay, let's for the sake of argument say that race has scientific backing. Then wouldn't a "light skinned black person" be as much of a "white person" as they are a "black person"?
