Why is the skin color of Africans more darker as compared to Asians Americans or European?

The darker skin color of many Africans is primarily due to higher melanin production, which provides protection against the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This adaptation evolved in response to the intense sunlight in equatorial regions, where UV exposure is greater. In contrast, populations in Europe and Asia, where sunlight is less intense, have lighter skin, which allows for better vitamin D synthesis in low UV environments. Thus, skin color variations are largely a result of evolutionary adaptations to different environmental conditions.

Why are some south asians white skinned?

Skin color in South Asia varies due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and evolutionary factors. Some South Asians may have lighter skin due to ancestral lineage, particularly in regions with historical interactions with populations from Europe or Central Asia. Additionally, geographical factors such as altitude and climate may influence skin pigmentation. Ultimately, human skin color is a complex trait shaped by a wide range of influences over time.

What did many westerners think that a skin color other than their own made people?

In the past, people of European descent have usually thought that people who have other skin color than their own, i.e., Africans and Asians, are biologically inferior to themselves. This racist attitude has been largely, but not entirely overcome in recent decades. Also note that European Jews, whose skin color is the same as that of other Europeans, were subjected to the most extreme racial hatred of any ethnic group, so it is not always about skin color.
