i think it’s sad & funny how people get so bent about skin color & facial features. if you spread out pictures of people from different cultures, you can see similarities in features & also see how features & color are adaptive to the different environments from which they come. i grew up just naturally thinking that everyone had similarities. if i happened to see an african american person who looked in some features like , say, my aunt, then she just did! it didn’t matter the color of the skin. if you look at people from china across to eastern russia, you can see how asian & caucasian blend, etc, on & on… you can pick people out of anywhere on the globe that share features; i believe this points to our shared decendants. as for indian americans, i met quite a few in college who share a lot of features with the ethnic group i am from, which is albanian. the shape of the head, some facial features, & body type, etc. the albanian language is indo-european & albanians are supposed to be the oldest inhabitants of europe. what i’d like to know is, is the ‘shade’ preference that was explained above about indians just a natural product of human in/out group dynamics, or is it an artificial byproduct of British colonialism? (ps. in my opinion, white americans tend to be very zenophobic & it’s embarassing to me to see people who are so culturely ignorant that they can’t tell an indian american from a american indian, etc…i personally like to see/be around people different than me, because it’s always exciting to me to discover our similarities together.)
