Nor are there clear consistent GENETIC distinctions between humans as a whole that seperate us into "race". (The regional similarities I talk about are concerning a particular gene or genes, but not overall. And like I said before they aren't consistently found in all the people within a region, rather they are more numerous in some regions than in others.)
We've had this argument before. The more "pure" the bloodline the easier it is to see distinctions, but thankfully they are beginning to fade ever-so-slightly worldwide.

I don't think we know enough DNA to definitively say there are no genetic distinctions between humans when some humans clearly have pale skin and some have very dark skin.

I think Japanese men do in fact desire to marry these “frail” and unassertive women. However I find most Japanese women can be both genteel and submissive, and also strong willed and reliable when need be. I do think you need to put on the submissive façade first though, cus that’s what men think they want, at least. Many men will shy away from a girl who is too headstrong.
I say all this as my own opinion from what I have observed. I don’t claim this to be universal, I am sure many Japanese men like strong girls too. Nor do I think it is how it should be. It’s just what I feel is the case.
Sorry about going talking about sexism in this thread, which has nothing do with it. Eeep :s

There is a difference between being "frail" and weak and being quiet and not outlandish. And yo are right, women do what they need to do to get a man. Nothing "frail" about that.
