You know that there's lots and lots of different Indian people, and even just going by skin colour, they have a lots of variation?

What the 'East Asian personality'?

And when you say 'whites' do you include Irish and Italians? They only recently became 'white'. (And a bit earlier Benjamin Franklin didn't even include Germans amongst the properly 'white' people.)

Incorrect line of thinking. Indians are diverse but very similar. Patterns do exist among them - lets not try to dismiss that.

[eru]

Well, Indians are humans. So in that sense they are similar.

Or do you mean that Indians are less (or more) diverse than eg Americans?

[simianwords]

its the same way you think about men vs women. they are similar as humans but there are patterns.

[eru]

Sure, but I wouldn't say that '[men] are diverse but very similar.'

[simianwords]

why not?

That's right, you'll note the different columns and rows in that chart for different parts of South Asia.
