I don't think it's racist to say there are differences between people - you're not saying one is inferior to the other - just very slightly different.


  I think anti racist would suggest that the idea of trying to find differences where none exist was racist.

i'm sure they would - and i'm not sure why anyone would search for one but that doesn't make the fact itself racist - only the people that would seek to use it in a derogatory form (if it existed etc)
