‘Race’ is equivalent to species. Two organisms are classified as different species when they are unable to produce a fertile offspring.
Therefore, there is no such thing as human races. There is only one race, the human race.
Most recent scientific research into DNA shows that the genetic differences between two persons of the ‘same race’ are greater than between two of ‘different races’.
‘Racial characteristics’, i.e. phenotypes (what we can observe) like the color of the eye, skin, or shape of the nose are merely consequences of climate.
In Singapore, race and ethnicity are not distinguished. This implies that our thoughts, behaviors, emotions, i.e. culture, are products of our biological inheritance.
Therefore, if you’re born Chinese, you have to learn Mandarin, you’re supposed to celebrate Chinese New Year, and gambling is in your blood.
“The Bell curve is a fact of life. The blacks on average score 85 percent on IQ and it is accurate, nothing to do with culture. The whites score on average 100. Asians score more…the Bell curve authors put it at least 10 points higher. These are realities that, if you do not accept, will lead to frustration because you will be spending money on wrong assumptions and the results cannot follow. “

“A reading of the evidence cited above suggests that Lee has always had an agenda based on the racial and cultural superiority of Singapore's Chinese population.”
