I don't understand this article. How is saying that "a lot of what humans have done and where we have moved and who had powerful economies and militaries is determined roughly by our environments" racist. It seems like the opposite, one race isn't smarter and that's why they colonised others, they just had an easier start. I'm open to being wrong if anyone wants to correct me.
