Is true that all the differences exist between minority groups and the majority in your society are due to heredity?
That is 100% false. Any differences between minority groups and majority groups in a society have far more to do with environmental factors (schooling, work opportunities, class and culture distinctions) than with heredity.All humans are 99.99% the same at the genetic level; to our DNA, variations in skin color and eyelid shape are as meaningless as eye color and nose shape. However, throughout history (from the Mongol hordes to Portuguese slave raids to Nazi pogroms) these visible differences have been used to justify the supposed superiority of the majority at the expense of the minority group.
