I mostly agree with you. And I commend your principles.

Some of your examples need improving is all I'll say.

Like sending a white guy to the equator for a decade. Okay fine, they go dark skinned. But bring him back up north and he is white again. Send a super dark skinned guy far north and he will get somewhat paler, so it works both ways. But they retain that difference because they are different.

We have developed differences mostly based on our origin in the world, be it Asian, African, Egyptian, Indian, etc, but we are such an internationally mixed people the differences are meaningless.

    Actually, yes, and actually, no.

    If you take a white person and put them in the equator for multiple generations, they'll turn brown. If you try to put the result back north, it'll take them multiple generations to get pale again.

    There isn't really an inherent difference between us. There are small mutations or diseases that can kill, like Alzheimer's, but those are all basically incidental. Your genes can change, that's what evolution is.

    We ALL came from Africa, anyway, and then settled down in various places for a while, adapting. The longer people have adapted, the more they've adapted. But it doesn't set anything in stone, and everybody still retains that ability to adapt.

    There you go the key to all of this is "meaningless differences" justification to divide people, then make one group appear less than human, then exploit, steal from and murder the savages for the profit of the few.
