Definately.

So, can you look at a person and tell from that how they will act?

I probably will be able to notice an outline of Person's modus operandi.

BTW

The idea that there is some inherited force beyond our empirical perception, that controls our actions our thoughts, finds its refined philosophical explanation in philosophy of Schopenhauer, as you may know. Shopenhauer called it "will", - the basic metaphisical prinsipe of being. Genetic science, definately, proves the idea. This apparenly hints at correletion between genetic science and metaphisic and as resut at possability of new Jugenic.

It has come to my attention that a good number of seemingly innocuous terms are rather specific ethnic slurs:

apple - Native American who "acts too Caucasian"
banana/Twinkie - (South-)East Asian who "acts too Caucasian"
coconut/potato - Hispanic or South Asian who "acts too Caucasian"
egg - Caucasian who "acts too (South-)East Asian"
Oreo - black person who "acts too Caucasian"
reverse Oreo - Caucasian who "acts too black"

I belive everybody should act according its racial nature. Race does matter

There is no such thing as "racial nature." It's all a matter of culture that one belongs to. And white Americans have more in common with black Americans than they do with European whites.

^^^A quick Google search informed me he's a geneticist and molecular biologist, and a co-discoverer of the nature of DNA.

Right. The name should have rung a bell. He just looks so much like a British aristocrat that I missed the point.

There's also this.

This sounds awful: an 86-year-old hero ostracised for his views, shooed from public life by the people who walk in his scientific shadow.

But it’s not awful. Watson has said that he is “not a racist in a conventional way”. But he told the Sunday Times in 2007 that while people may like to think that all races are born with equal intelligence, those “who have to deal with black employees find this not true”. Call me old-fashioned, but that sounds like bog-standard, run-of-the-mill racism to me.

It shouldn't matter if a black girl loves classical violin and wants to join a symphony orchestra, or a white guy wants to do rap / hip hop or Rasta. They shouldn't be criticised for their choices. Individuals have the choice what they find attractive from the multitude of cultural choices before them.

Culture is not the preserve of any particular group because all types of people live all over the world today and so various eclectic styles have evolved which are a result of mixed origins.

In fact, I know someone who was involved in Irish dancing
who quit the group ...
one reason being,
her skin was darker than the other people's in the group
and apparently she felt out of place.

Pretty sad, because she's a good dancer.

I wish I could have convinced her to stay in the group. That would have been a good deed.

He would simply make an exception.

He would then have to make exceptions for journalist Don Lemon, and fiction writer and essayist James Baldwin, both of whom were born African Americans. And those are hardly the only black people who have made exceptional contributions.
Then there's the matter of how would Watson explain away those really dumb, inbred white crackers who probably don't even believe in or let alone understand Watson's work?

Ultimately, racism makes no sense. Try convincing a racist of that.

Logically, you can't be a real nihilist and also be a racist without massive intellectual laziness and failure to engage in self examination.
