big j, the color wheel theory doesn't apply to just skin color, facial and other physical characteristics also fit into a free flowing spectrum. thats the point is that all of these characteristics are indistinguishable - except for our own ideal or average associations.
ignorant racists often try to suggest that their race is superior to others, ex: american white supremicists. they look at blacks in america and evaluate their common cultural differences in combination with their social standing in order with the main objective being, to prove that they are inherently inferior. the problem is that they don't realize they have only selected what they associate with 'black'. you simply cannot draw a line on race and that's why no scientist, no matter how disillusioned and vehemently racist, has been able to prove a heirarchical structure of superiority.
besides racism really stems from a lack of understanding and a complete ignorance for cultural relativity - the idea that you cannot evaluate another culture based on the criteria of your own. i'll give an example, it wouldn't be appropriate for a mx judge to evaluate skiers in a slopestyle comp - he/she wouldn't have the sensitivity for our sport.
'Le Mat snake village - (Hanoi) - is home to a slew of snake-meat restaruants which play to the tourist market with elaborate theatrics, including killing the snake in front of you. It's then served up in every possible form, from soup to snake-belly shavings. The guest of honour gets to eat the still pumping heart - beware, it's alleged to have amphetamine properties.' - The Rough Guide to Vietnam. First world countries are for pussies.
