Exclamation … at least HHIS uproar has made me think!

I didn't realise that the fellows who did the skit were not exactly 'white persons', until I saw the brief interview with one of the performers, who is even is a doctor.

I read today two very illuminating information about skin colour in these wiki articles on Human Skin Colour and Melanin

In these days of DNA genetic information of our genes is becoming quite revealing. It is clear that only variations of only four to six genes determine ones skin colour; made quite inconsequential against the 50 000–100 000 human genes determining our human genome. (A trifling mere 0.006%) There are far more differences between males and females!

Therefore, IMO anyone discriminating against another based on ones skin colour is simply ignorant - and actual genetic science has backed this view up 100%.

If some doctor, who should know these differences, and is no even 'white', then how does this become racial or racially discriminatory?
Note: The next real argument in the near future will be of selecting pre-determined skin colour by genetic therapies before the child is born - but that is another debate...
