Is there "really" any difference in Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, or other races? If so, why do u say?

No difference at all.

In a perfect world there would be no distinctions b/w race, gender or even religion. But since this is the United States and African-Americans are the largest and longest established minority group, I think we can cut them some slack as the spokesman-race for all other minorities. Just a thought.

I have yet to find one race that excepts everyone no matter what color they are. I've had racial slang thrown at me by Hispanics, and Blacks. Racism isn't just practiced by white people.

There is no such thing as race. There was a study done on human DNA, within the last ten years anyway, typing and comparing the DNA of people of many different "racial" backgrounds. Of course all the Asians expected to be genetically closer to Asians than anyone else, but it actually turned out that one Asian girl was closest genetically to her black male classmate. We are really very much alike under our skin.\nHumans are the closest to each other genetically. It's amazing. There can be as little as one nucleotide difference that distinguishes your DNA from mine.\nYou're totally right. People is people.

That is what it implies to me.\nI never refer to people by their complexion unless I'm at a loss, and then I use light complected, medium complected or dark complected. Never colored or black or even African American. They are American. I am American. I am not pale or Irish/German American and would hate to be categorized like that. I feel using the word "complected" refers solely to the fact that people have different skin tones, rather than being an ethnic or racial term.

I'm white and I've actually been told that I couldn't have any problems by more than one race. The only thing I can say, is that good and bad comes in all of God's colors as well as narrow minds. God gave us choice and sometimes people chose to believe what is easist to belive in order to release themselves of all responsibilty to a current situation or life situation. The other thing is that you are actually perpetuating the cycle by making a blanket statement. I do not have to be black to know in my heart, that not all black people think this way even though I did experenced exactly what you're talking about.

No, not even close-even considering that there are a handful of million black people that are native to EU countries, especially the UK, there are still well under 20 million blacks in Europe.  In the US, in a population of nearly 300 million, blacks make up about 17%, or approximately 50 million.  All that being said, genetically it is very difficult to distinguish people based on what we have historically known as "race", and most geneticists dont consider it a meaningful term-"Black" people such as Ethiopeans and Somalians are more genetically related to European "white" people than to other "black" African populations.  Skin color is only one of thousands of characteristics of a person that are genetically passed-it just happens to be one that is visible.  If you look at blood type, for example, then you see as much variation in the European population as you do between Europeans and Africans, and that holds true for most genetic traits. So, Black and White, genetically, dont mean very much.

Umm race is a part of genetics.  Food intake, and activity level also play a part.

No, not all the time. Some of us can look black, white, hispanic, and here's a surprise...just plain mixed.

People use the word racism/racist too freely. Classifying people by race itself isn't racist. African-American, in terms of darker skin or "black", is really the most politically correct term you could use. The same goes for those who are termed Caucasian or "white". Generally, some people are never satisified, but that's probably the best it's going to get. You can't expect people who don't know you well to know your ancestry. People who do not know you can only really guess your race by what they see (I don't see why they would even be talking about that in the first place). If they are incorrect, politely correct them. There's no need to get yourself all worked up. If they're using a derogatory term, that's a different conversation all together.

Most anthropologists believe "race" is not a meaningful concept.  Skin color mutates and alters rpadily as people move around.  It makes more sense to speak of ethnicity or culture than race.  And from a biological sense, when genes in humans do vary, it is usually due to geography and previaling conditions.  For example, most adult humans are lactose intolerant, but both pale northern Europeans and dark Masai folk can digest lactose.  That's because both groups were into dairying.

The thing about race... is that it is subjective. Different people classify race differently. How many categories are there? Some people think three: black, white and yellow. Some say 4  with natives, others 5 with brown\n\nReally, race is like a rainbow. There is every mix of colour.  People are those colours and inbetween.\n\nFrom what I have heard, you are correct. Most geaneaology books classify mediterranean people as a separate category. \n\nIn reality, race is just the colour of our skin. Our DNA is so similar that the differences are barely anything. \n\nDon't try to classify yourself, embrace who you are.

I like to take a few things from all races.... as far as fashion goes. I am white and I was born with a big ol booty, thick hair and big lips.....so guess its not just a black thang anymore. I really don't understand the conflict between black and white.....I live in the south and its always a heated debate. We live in this world together and I think that we just need to open our eyes and realize that. Learn from one another

There are certain genetic characteristics related to each race. This just happens to be a dominant trait with black women, but of course there are exceptions. Every race has a variety of body types

i couldn't even tell the difference between black and white people until i whent to 1st grade and they had black history month\n\neveryone is the same race; skin color is irrelavent\n\n\n E! is BET for white people btw

1.- Absolutely, yes. Sometimes even more so than with people my own culture.\n\n2.- That they are a different colour. No further implications. No judgement as to whether they're better or worse than me.\n\n3.- Hardly ever. I'd say "never", because I cannot spot out a single time I did, but to be on the safe side, I'll say "hardly ever".\n\nHow much of a racist am I?

I'm White and I don't think so.I like the channel.If you look on tv these days that's all you see is us.Hispanics have their own channel and it doesn't bother me.On another note anybody can be racist,but you have to tell the truth when it comes to us because we are often the perpetrators of hate.I mean look at some of the answers you are already getting,you have ignorant people spouting off at the mouth.You say your not "racist" but I think you might need to check yourself.I'm proud of myself and I don't need to put down Black or any other ethnic people to make myself feel better about me!
