Why is it such a stretch to say some races (on average) are smarter than others or more inclined to work.

Because THOSE traits are not controlled by the same genes that control skin color. There is more variation of those traits within the same race than there is across races. Assuming that skin color affects something like intelligence is the most basic definition of racism.


OK, maybe so. And thanks for not downing me and civilly discussing this.

I do agree that external factors weigh heavily in determining a person’s “being.” However many emotional and mental traits are influenced by heredity. To broaden that line of thinking many emotional and mental traits can be attributed to race IMO.
