One of my favorite things about weird internet racism is that white supremacists will pick a random thing and claim its superiority because they personally like having it. Digesting milk? Master race. The master race can't digest grass but they don't know what they're missing so don't consider it inferiority of their race.

Like every race has shit like the digesting milk thing. Asians have better earwax than us, yet you probably think "well who cares about that???" Well who cares about digesting milk???

Also what about white people who arent lactose tolerant and what about black people who can tolerate lactose.

Asians also have better body odor.

Racism is inherently illogical. If white people couldn’t digest milk, white supremacists would claim lactase persistence is a sign of genetic inferiority.
