That is hilarious. Do you really believe that?

The reason why some people have darker skin is that there is a balance between the amount of pigmentation that is enough to save us from skin cancer to the amount of pigmentation that will allow us to absorb sunshine in northern climates....

In one way aspies would be less racist since we are prone to think more outside the box. In another way aspies would be more racist because they are more honest about what they think and feel. I guess considering both of those, aspies are just as racist as everyone else, no more no less.

I said PART, and DID mention the ideo of shelter and nutrition. Whites HAVE been in areas that could be colder and not quite as sunny. As areas got sunnier, people tended to have darker skin. But HEY, WHO KNOWS?

If everyone has racism, then I wonder how I'm racist then?

TBH, I'm bad with music. I have difficulty understanding the words. So that explains why I didn't find it funny.

Got out of bed, wasn't feeling too good
With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes
The sun is shining so I head for the park
With a bottle of Tequila, and a new pack of cigarettes

I got a cousin and she got a friend
Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could help
At his apartment I knocked on the door
He wouldn't come out until he got paid
Now don't tell anybody what I wanna do
If they find out you know that they'll never let me through

It's no fun being an illegal alien
It's no fun being an illegal alien

Down at the office had to fill out the forms
A pink one, a red one, the colours you choose
Up to the counter to see what they think
They said "It doesn't count man, it ain't written in ink"
Don't trust anybody least not around here, cos

It's no fun being an illegal alien
It's no fun being an illegal alien
It's no fun being an illegal alien
It's no fun being an illegal alien
An illegal alien, O.K.

Consideration for your fellow man
Wouldn't hurt anybody, sure fits in with my plan
Over the border, there lies the promised land

So don't tell anybody what I wanna do
If they find out you know that they'll never let me through

It's no fun being an illegal alien
It's no fun being an illegal alien
It's no fun being an illegal alien
It's no fun being an illegal alien

I very, very strongly disagree with the notion that people on the spectrum are less apt to be racist, and this forum is largely responsible for my views on this topic. I'm Jewish and have seen some of the most offensive anti-Semitic crap I've ever seen has been on these very boards. I've noticed cringe-inducing comments about other ethnic groups as well. I don't see any solid evidence to support the notion that people on the spectrum are somehow "less racist."
