Woah, slow down... Why pull the "racist" card? Isn't that precisely what genetics is about? I'm not a racist but I think they might have a valid point. Our ancestors with dark skin weren't the result of breeding with Neanderthals, but the light skinned folks were. So, hmm, I don't know if you'd say blacks were closer to being apes, but whites are more likely to carry Neanderthal genes as well as homsapien genes. That probably means they're further from apes if you measure "distance" by genetic differentiation. If you count that merging as a node in the graph, that's one more node further, no? Not that it matters much, I'm sure there's been sufficient cross breeding that you'd have a hard time finding anyone alive without Neanderthal genes.
I think I prefer racists who are just straightforwardly stupid, rather than ones who mis-use the brains they've been given.
People with black, white or any other colour skin are all part of the same species, homo sapiens. That's it.
The idea that white people are a different type of human is racism, pure and simple. You are a fucking idiot.
