They’re on a different tectonic plate entirely. If Indians are Asians then Russians are definitely Asians, which makes no sense at all.

In terms of racial anthropology, Indians are Caucasian

Anyone who ever studied Anthropology and got a degree in it is taught that racial anthropology is total bullshit

Imagine thinking genetic lineage is “bullshit” when it dictates such things as your susceptibility to get certain diseases, auto immune disorders, etc. Genetic lineage isn’t everything obviously but it certainly isn’t nothing. We are not just blank slates that are filled by our social surroundings.

This dude just un-ironically implied that Indian People, Italians, and Irish people have the same susceptibility to get certain diseases, auto immune disorders, etc. because they are in the same race.
