You missed the word probabilistically. "Crikey, look, there's an African who made lots of money" does not negate my argument. Same as "Hey, I know a woman who was really good at maths" doesn't change the facts on probability and distribution.

And having a good inside track to political power is a great way to get loads of money, which is not what I was describing.

1) The color of ones skin,

Correct, melanin in skin isn't related to much other than history of ancestral sun exposure.
2) The place where they were born,

That has a big impact. Being born in Bangladesh or Chicago ghetto is very limiting.
3)The spirit they do or do not worship,

That also has a big impact. A superstition that insists girls read only the Koran, or not read at all, is very limiting. Do you know what Boko Haram means?
4) The language they speak
That also is very limiting. American is the best language. Knowing only some jungle language makes getting to the cutting edge of human thinking makes it impossible.
5) The Clothes they wear.
It does help to wear black fly resistant clothes in Canada in summer and fur in winter. It's tough to survive without the right clothes. Clothes for white people at the equator is a very good idea as the sun is very damaging to skin.
6) The foods they eat.

People die without the right food. I know from tragic personal experience. Unbelievable in the 21st century but ignorance is a lethal fact of human life. Food without vitamin C, or A, or B12, or many other nutrients is lethal. Also, toxins in food are dangerous - melamine in China for infants for example.

Blah blah blah yeah racism blah blah. Yawn.

Those things don't create the foundation for racism or hatred.
