For example, Nordic and Asian are by far the most economically productive, most peaceful, most intelligent, etc. And have the lightest skin.
The darker the complexion gets, Latinos, Arabs, etc - they are doing okay, but have more violence, less economic productivity, etc.
The darkest: Africa, still rife with dictators, Tribalism, Warfare, Superstition, Barren economy.
I don't mean to be racist or anything, but I find it hard to believe that after thousands and thousands of years, if all races are completely genetically equal, that you would think it would of equalised by now...
(This is from a Bangladeshi FYI) West Asians are very aware that pale skin is a good trait to have.
I don't know man. Like for example people in Russia all have light skin, but...
In contrast, I don't have much to show for, except for the arab countries who are quite civilized I'd say. Civilization has something to do with the present standards of civilization. For example, at the time of the Romans or ancient Greeks, anyone who was "not them" was considered to be barbarian and uncivilized. For example, it really makes sense to consider a tribe of gauls who dispense justice to criminals by stuffing them in wicker mans, and setting them alight as "uncivilized" despite them being of *light skin*, yet at the same time, considering the Nubians and Egyptians, people of considerably darker skin colour, as being quite civilized for their time.
