Today, I had to explain to my neighbor that not all black people are lactose intolerant. His eyes still bulge out every time I eat cheese. FML

Had you posted this as the first comment, all of the "omg racist stereotyping!" comments could have been eliminated. Thanks at least for clarifying.

There is a much higher percentage of black people who are lactose intolerant as compared to other races.

Its about 75% of black americans on average it fluctuates with the amount of northenr european genes. 90 percent of asians and native americans are lactose intollerant as well. Typically people with most northern european genes are the least lactose intollerant. With northenr Europeans being only 5 percent lactose intollerant.

214 & 256: #209 wasn't saying that every African person was lactose intolerant, just stating the fact that most are. It's not racist to state statistics about a group. If I knew that 8 out of 10 people I was going to talk to without being able to see were going to be wearing a jacket, it wouldn't be unreasonable for me to assume that whomever I spoke to was wearing a jacket, as there would be a higher chance that I was correct. However: A) It is racist to continue believing someone is LI after they've already told you they're not, or to believe that all Africans are LI(main point being the difference between all and most); B ) I don't have a source for these statistics, so they very well could be wrong. My point remains though.
