Yes of course but "colorism" doesnt equate to racism. Almost all civilisations had colorism - for example Japan and China fair skin is desirable and people do everything to keep out of the direct sun. This is not to do with race but with simple division of society into laborers/farmers and upper class. Once again dark skin is a sign of working in the sun
But was that colorism introduced by military might?

You answered your own question...there is no scientific basis for race- designation is subjective
Only racist Europeans ask for this information on census forms or job applications
If there is no such thing as race then there is not such thing as racism. There is a scientific basis for race, just recently scientists use the term Ethnicity exclusively.
As different varieties of humanity can intermix and produce viable offspring, it proves there is only one race - - the human race.
Well no. There have been many different species of humans yet we have interbred with them, race is essentially phenotypical differences and how a society perceives them when ever two groups came across each other they would notice they looked different.

The fact that all humans today can intermix and produce viable offspring, that shows we are in fact one race.
The fact that we were able to intermix with archaic humans shows that they were not so different from modern humans.
A human is a human is a human.

These differences were exaggerated so that even up to the 1960s many people believed Africans were closer to apes, indeed research in the 1980s by Hernstein & Murray suggested Africans had lower IQs was an attempt to masquerade racist claims as legimitate scientific research, it has been debunked as an attempt to legitimize old beliefs that African brains were primitive

Might be better to say it was reinforced by military might

It's interesting the alt-right is recycling old ideas of racial purity instilling feat in middle America their daughters will be seduced by hip-hop culture

Yes racism is real but noticing that other races exist doesn't equate to racism. Most people believed what they were told because they had no interaction with other races.
It's a projection by the European colonists that appearance + caste = race
In India upper caste hindus come from generations of people who due to their social status spent more time indoors compared to lower castes who's occupations mean't they were exposed to the hot Indian sun. It's not rocket science that endogamy (caste marriage barriers) means over time their appearance changes through selection.
However these caste barriers are only 2000 yrs old, India is much older. The highest brahmin to the lowest pariah share most of their genes...they had concepts of tribes then caste/religion but not race...
When did you stop supporting colonialism?

So, is this whole thing just going to blow over as a non-issue?
Or is it going to slowly build up to bombings & war?
Just curious. Seems it made headline news for a day or two and now it's sort of run it's course unless something significant happens in Jerusalem.

You might have an argument that archaic humans and modern humans were different species of humans, but they were still humans.

Yes but different species can interbreed so different races interbreeding doesn't mean races don't exist. Racial purity is a myth however we are mixed between many races.

Yes but this is geographically/socially defined (not biologically)
