Its means our DNA is identical, you cant tell a black person from a native person by just looking at what they’re made from, all humans *are humans*. So racism or judging/determining anything based on race is fruitless

There are some cases where you can show it but it almost always comes down to social issues, like if asians are scoring low on tests in a white neighborhood, you could say “asians are dumb” or you can look for why they’re scoring low, possibly because they’re freshly immigrated and dont speak the native tongue, or are living in poorer neighborhoods because racists wont allow them to live near them, making it harder for the children to focus over the sirens blaring while the white family who lives in the nice neighborhood are buying books and additional study aids.

Tldr: Humans are Humans and racism usually creates it’s own problems that it points to as evidence to allow them to keep being racist, a snake eating it’s own tail
