You know the funny thing is people actual believe the colour white was there from the beginning; the white man is just a mutation of the black people that lived in those regions before. I hate the perception that the colour black is only confined on the African continent. There were many areas of the world were the indigenous people were dark skinned. This myth that todays white people of Europe and Asia have always been there is simply stupid, and a naive concept.
There are dark skinned Chinese in the land of china, and no they don't have "small eyes" that's just another mutation.
Interesting.
I could add some spice to the debate...
I could mention the prehistoric, pastoral, bronze-working, horse-breeding people,
the Aryans, who inhabited the steppes of central Asia about 4500 B.C.
I could also go into explaining how the the leaders of Persia called themselves Aryans.
Or how the community of Indo-Europeans dispersed, to Iran, India
and elsewhere in many other directions, mainly westward.
The old name, Aryan, survived in both Persia and India
and is the source of the present-day name of Iran.
But I fear this data will be lost on poor, angst-riddled HamaticBabylon.
