What if race wasn't ever indicative of how smart, strong ect people were
But simply where they lived?
I've always thought that people like asians having weird eyes or people like africans having darker skin was weird. But if you think about where these places are in the world itself, these differences start to make sense. See, asians would be farmers. For sure. They had to be! They lived by the sea, in the hot sun, with no way of getting to land. China is a bit more eh on this, but for japan in specific they had no way to trade so had to do everything. This is how their meritocrical society was formed; people were literally forced to do everything. Mine. Farm. Hunt. Gather.
This naturally lends itself to them having more squinty eyes due to being in the sun more. Another thing to consider is bamboo being more prevelant, leading to less trees and erego more time in the sun.
Africa is in the middle of the world. Africans will naturally, as such, be darker skinned. It's really fucking hot there. We're seeing this happen in places like mexico, too, where over time people get darker skinned as their babies get tan. The interesting thing is that their hands are actually white, which I don't quite know why.
This also goes for native americans I ain't gonna just rewrite
People in colder climates, like europe, didn't have to be suffering from intense heat 24/7. Because they weren't super isolated, no need to worry about trade with the mainland either. They were mostly white.
The next part becomes how the terms black and white were made to begin with, which I still don't understand. It's not like africans are anything but brown skinned tbh.
