    My mistake
    I was under the assumption you had come to that conclusion using some more universal measure

    sounds like a false trichotomy
    how do you classify groups that do not fit well into either group, like the Australian aboriginals?

    LMAO!!!! No ? way most Indians are Caucasian!!!! Maybe some of the northern ones, but not most. I refuse to believe most Arabs are Caucasian either, I know Arabs and none of them consider themselves White. Some of my Arab friends hate white people more then they hate dogs

    After 700s when the Assyrians invaded Egypt is when the black population left or mixed with the invading forces. But for the most part it was Black African.

    oh, how do the Australian aboriginals not fit well

    sucks for them, since they're white

    there was once a time when white people didn't consider Irish and Italians "white." oddly enough, this opinion didn't seem to take. these Arabs you know are white people who don't want the downside of admitting they're white. oh well!

    is THAT where the three races breakdown comes from?

    You must have quite the ancient civilization to still have this sort of tug of war for 'ownership'.

    So where does that "three races" breakdown come from then....?

    And why should dark as hell Indians and very tan skin Arabs consider themselves White? I know some Arabs have pale skin and green eyes and even brown or red hair, but then again, some Black people I know have green eyes too lol. Some Arabs could be considered White I guess, but most? Hell no

    There are traits common among them that are typically unheard of in other groups
    for example, both napped and straight hair are common
    while these features exist either one or the other in mongoloids, caucasoids and negroids

    Moreover though, the racial tripartite is based on an outdated and severely flawed ideology
    If this dark history of anthropology is not based on real science and untrustworthy on other issues why even grant it one of its key premises? This is a particularly noteworthy criticism as most anthroplogists today reject its racial schema

    LOL at questioning if afracans lived in africa.

    but then again there was a time when native americans were being told to get out of the white mans country and "GO HOME!!!".

    We celebrated a great man who "discovered" america

    We believed Africans were uncivilized stupid savagesbefore europians showed up with Christianity and white jesus

    We were taught that Lincoln "freed" the slaves because he was a good man.

    Ancient people were stupid and primitive and we are way more advanced now.

    The cowboys were good and the "indians" were bad

    Native americans are now called "indians"

    Indian-woman-in-Kolkata-w-008.jpg

    We believed white people invented everything that we use all the time in the modern world. They couldn't have possibly stole it... ... ...

    We believed(and some ? still do) that africans sold themselves(lol!!!!!!!!) into 100's of years slavery. The white man just showed up and asked us to give up our women, children. and everybody we love so they could do evil things to them.

    I don't think I need to go on any further....... ... ..
