Indians were despised. Coloureds were an embarrassing reminder to them of colonial European infidelity and promiscuity. Muslims were exotic, mysterious, decorations left to their own devices. Black Africans were feared, some more than others. We said and we say no to this anthropologically decrepit nonsense.
Humanity is one race.
We look differently because we evolved similarly. Our biological apparatus made us adjust to our environment, so that we can survive, reproduce and grow. We have the remarkable capacity for language, the articulation of symbolic meaning, but we do so differently. We are culturally heterogeneous, as they say, different in habit, custom and aesthetic expression. Humanity is therefore a species of physical and cultural variety, derived from the same biological properties in constant adjustment with our ecological environment.
