Really, people had to be told that people with white(r) skin, are similar..?

How stupid do these people think 'everyone else' is. This is the most absurd thing I've read all day.

Humans, who divide themselves along such lines as _what tv shows they like_, had to have the concept of _skin colour_ invented for them. Really think about how ridiculous this assertion is.

People naturally mix. They work together, worship together, and marry each other, unless this natural mixing is opposed by external forces.
It wasn't that they just said that they looked different obviously, what a ridiculous assertion . They seeded talking points of racial supremacy amongst them to divide them when before they saw themselves more unified as workers with their race not having inherent merit.
