Some races are genetically predisposed to outperform others

Scientific advances have allowed scientists to better examine our human roots and conclude that "race" is not a viable biological variable in explaining human differences. When comparing different people's DNA, scientists have found that some people of the same "race" have less in common with each other than people of different races. This result shows that human definitions of race do not have genetic, biological bases.^[2] Rather, our definitions of race are cultural. While proponents of race as a biological reality may look to health disparities and conclude innate biological differences exist between White people and POC, the cause of disparities is the environment. In the US, Black and Brown communities are more affected by pollution. A report on data collected from 1987 to 2007 found that over half of the people who live within 1.86 miles of toxic waste facilities were people of color. Children of color living in urban areas are disproportionately more affected by lead poisoning, compared to white children. Exposure to lead and other toxic wastes affect the environment children grow up in and cause long-lasting health issues. Therefore, Environmental factors, rather than innate biological features, influence the experiences and lives of different racial communities.
