Will you defend your opinion that race doesn't matter?

I find race quite arbitrary, what does the amount of pigment in a person's skin have to do with their value as a person? I'd compare it to the analogy of judging a fish by it's ability to climb a tree but it's more akin to judging a fish by its ability to do calculus. If you are someone that judges someone off their ethnicity then you are just applying your personal biases and beliefs onto an individual you have never met. I believe there can be some merit that ethnicity has correlation to culture as people who have Chinese strong Chinese features are more likely to be involved in Chinese culture but that is still an assumption. People of all race and skin tone reside all around the world, someone who is very fair skinned can be born an raised in Africa, someone who is very dark skinned can be born and raised in Japan. If someone who would be called African American in America was born and raised in Japan by Japanese parents would they not then be Japanese? We can control our words and actions but we cannot control all aspects of our apperance so to Jude someone, especially those who are extremely critical, disrespectful, and degrading to others, simply based off of their skin pigment is quite silly to me.

Nope! Japanese isn't like that. You'd know this if you were educated.

I'm sorry did I use too many words for you? It's okay maybe someone can sound them out for you.

That's an ad hominem insult, not an argument. You're dragging down discussion on the pyramid of debate.

Educated people know about Japan and its culture.
