(10,362 posts)To determine that, wouldn't we have to know a person's mental health, physical health, beauty, charisma, height, weight, and intelligence? And those are just some things influenced by genetic traits.
What about whether they were sexually abused, physically abused, or emotionally abused by their parents? Suddenly someone with all the favored genetic traits, and let's throw in white skin and a penis to boot, that person's life becomes impossibly difficult. And now introduce that very important element of chance and fortune. After all, one favorable or unfavorable outcome can change a person's life.
My point is that there are so many measures of difficulty in one's life that measuring it for an entire ethnicity is impossible. There is no such thing as "all other things being equal" because of the near-infinite number of permutations.
