More Than Two Racial Groups

Some people in America act like there are only two races in all the world: white people and black people.  Within this subset of people, some pretend like racism could only ever have white people as the instigator and black people of the victims, when people could be racist against their own skin color or against anyone of any other racial group.  However, there are far more than just two skin colors or facial distinctions, none of which has anything to do with someone's rationality, personality, or moral standing in any case.

There are also entire people groups, all of them human and differing only in appearance and their geographical/cultural circumstances (which only influence their worldview if allowed to), besides black and white people in America alone.  What about Indians, Asians, Native Americans, or the Inuit?  An irrationalistic focus on recorded American history and the societal problems of very specific forms of racism lead some, liberals and conservatives alike, to forget about or completely ignore that it is logically possible for there to be other groups of people, and that one can perceive and interact with them in everyday life.

Moreover, racism could be practiced by someone of any of these groups and directed at someone of any of these groups.  As if history is verifiable beyond the logical necessity of an uncaused cause setting the causal chain in motion, it does not follow from the particulars of American history that only black people and white people exist here or elsewhere.  The extreme focus (of this kind) on these two groups by necessity excludes acknowledgement or at least focus on people of all other racial categories, treating them as if they cannot exist or as if they merit lesser consideration.

Race is not limited to only two groups, and even if only two emerged on this planet in all of human history, either because of direct divine creation or because of human development over time, it would still be logically possible for more to have come into being.  None of them would be any less human than the others because of how they look or who their ancestors were, and all of them would be capable of being rational or irrational, righteous or wicked, and in possession of various personality types.  As plentiful as racial groups are, there is nothing about a person dictated by this besides their race itself.
