What do you think about ethnic prejudices??

Television is awash with white faces (even in the hinterland of Asia) so not so much of a novelty.

Not the same thing as seeing a round eye in person in your village. Just like an American in 1937 might have seen Lindberg, and his Spirit of St. Louis plane on magazine covers for twenty years, but would still gawk when he saw 'one them thar flying machines' in the sky in person.

^Genetic mutations make most typical East Asians no/low body odor.
Certain consciousnesses that seem to be mainstream internationally have not been established in East Asia.
So foreigners and certain minorities have, ahem, a physical culture shock for us when we actually meet.

And somehow, even residents of countries with large numbers of East Asians are unaware of the difference.
I have even heard international students from China complain that they are discriminated against for not using deodorant.

I hope every non-East Asian who plan to travel to East Asia is aware of this difference and "prepares" in advance. For... peace among everyone.

In many regions, culture seems to be largely segregated by race. I noticed this was especially true in the southern US. Cultures have a drastic impact on how most people develop because most people are highly impressionable. In many regions, this can cause most people within an ethnic group to behave very differently from most people within another ethnic group. It's important to recognize that individuals will vary, but the likelihood that someone you don't know may have certain qualities can change depending on their ethnicity.

Educate yourself about your countries history.

Two of the most important landmark cases in US legal history explain why you have inequality based on ethnic lines today

1. the first step in removing racial housing laws Shelley v. Kraemer 1948

2. the first step in removing segregation in US schools - Brown Vs Board of education 1956
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_v._ ... _Education

The legacy and fall-out of these two laws has yet to be played out in American society. It is precisely these things along with other important eras like the 1619 Project that conservative agitators want erased from the school curriculum as they explain why systemic inequality still exists in 2022. If anybody wants to visit a living real life museum of what America looked like prior to these laws one only has to visit the last "sundown" town in the USA

Anyone managing to read up to the end of this article might be a little shocked that this still exists in 2022 but was once how the entire country used to be.

When Trump used the slogan "Make America Great again" this is what a lot of people subconsciously wanted to go back to.

Using Soap is vital for keeping World peace?

Sad, but probably true.

Humans cant pant like dogs to cool off. So our African ancestors evolved sweat as a cooling mechanism. Then a million years after our ancestors fanned out from Africa East Asians evolved in the heart of Ice Age Siberia, and Mongolia, and many of their distinctive "racial" trait are actually adaptations to retaining body heat in cold (folded eyes are because more subcutaneous fat, and high cheek bones, and short stocky build are to create less surface area to loose heat). So it makes sense that east asians would have few sweat glands. In recent thousands of years that population fanned out into temperate and tropical east Asia and became the modern Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, and Thai.

Modern Africans would retain the tropical adaptations of maximum sweat capability. Whites (who became that way because Europe lacks sunlight, more than it lacks actual heat) would be somewhere in between.

The main related gene is ABCC11.
It is also thought to control other traits, such as dry earwax.

This intuitively reflects the possible more complex origins of the Japanese and the genetic association of Native Americans with East Asians.

In our culture, body odor is seen as a defect or a disease that requires surgical treatment, known as a "fox stink". But this is only for other typical East Asians.
Since we are a multi-ethnic country, Allele-G in China are not evenly distributed.
Most Chinese who haven't been abroad don't actually know that most people of other races have body odor. At least until they meet one themselves.

Gosh!

I was just speaking off of the top of my head.

Didnt expect a mass of data in response. But that does seem to confirm my guess. Apparently there is a specific gene -that has to do with both underarm sweat and ear wax- and that it does skew along a line from Africans on one end, to Koreans at the opposite end. With Europeans, south asians, and american Indians, in the middle.

My point remains. Whatever the causes are for these cultural differences, these differences have a huge impact on how most people within these cultures develop.

That is true. But we all are capable of making our own choices to follow the programming or think for ourselves.

I agree to an extent. To what extent this is possible will vary from person to person depending on their intelligence and their exposure to different ideas. Probably other things as well.
