Indians are basically the same race as whites, just darker, in comparison with the vast difference in East Asian personality.

You know that there's lots and lots of different Indian people, and even just going by skin colour, they have a lots of variation?

What the 'East Asian personality'?

And when you say 'whites' do you include Irish and Italians? They only recently became 'white'. (And a bit earlier Benjamin Franklin didn't even include Germans amongst the properly 'white' people.)

Incorrect line of thinking. Indians are diverse but very similar. Patterns do exist among them - lets not try to dismiss that.

Well, Indians are humans. So in that sense they are similar.

Or do you mean that Indians are less (or more) diverse than eg Americans?

its the same way you think about men vs women. they are similar as humans but there are patterns.

Sure, but I wouldn't say that '[men] are diverse but very similar.'

why not?

That's right, you'll note the different columns and rows in that chart for different parts of South Asia.
