Question: Why do people still subscribe to Victorian ideas on race!?
!.!.!.that whiteness is superior and desirable!?
!.!.!.that certain races are inferior!?


I've read tons of websites of white praising their own "pale skin, translucent skin", what colored eyes, and what colored hair!.!.!. I've distinctly felt they are very duped by Victorian thoughts still handed down by their great-grands, grandparents, and parents!.

When will people realize that we are one race and that even black hair, nose, and skin, oriental eyes and nose are just part of the big package of regular people who have been endowed different features to create genetic diversity and that all features are variations!.!.!.and simply variations!. There is no one correct way to be!. Some people are so blind and just so misled!.


There are good traits in everyone, physical, mental, spiritual!.!.!. We can not be judged by our skull shapes, roman or equiline nose, and the ridiculous breakdowns of borrowed anthropological distinctions between races!. All this is such bull!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's hard for me to grasp that sort of thinking - I look at my own family who are mixed race with very recent sub -sharan african ancestry yet many of us are of caucasian appearence!.I would encourage anyone claiming to be "purely white" to get a dna admixture test !.

I have no problem with people adoring their pale skin - its stunning and it's about time people put the hideous tanning beds away!.Anglo-saxon people currently dominate things so of course they'd be white worship going on/Www@QuestionHome@Com
