Just wait until they start talking about female brain mass. And...black female brain mass. :ohdear: on a pedantic note, isn't the only racial "disadvantage" black people have is that they have a higher than average chance of being born with sickle cell anemia? A slightly worse racial handicap than Asian lactose intolerance, admittedly...

You also see a higher prevalence of sickle cell anemia in Indian and Middle East communities. Basically tropical areas where malaria is common or where people from those regions migrated, which makes sense. And even in Africa, it really depends where you are. South and North Africa have it a lot less often than equatorial Africa.

Also apparently 75% of African Americans are lactose intolerant, which isn't far off from the East Asian 90%. Although in the Sudan the Beja people are only something like 12% lactose intolerant. Using that kind of genetic stuff to outline races tends to fall apart real fast when you actually look at the information.
