1. Are all races the same? In every way, physically, intellectually, emotionally and otherwise.
Race is not brightly defined, and is likely a human construct. However, I will note that each and every individual is 100% unique from all other individuals, when you consider their physical, intellectual, and emotional characteristics.
2. Are all cultures equal? Can someone from one culture, oh let's just say somalia to pick one at random, be transplanted into oh i dunno, minneapolis and with no effort to assimilate, do just fine, thank you.
Cultures are likely unequal. Though culture is really just an amalgam of many people (even those from what you would deem to be other cultures). I would suspect that assimilation between geographical extremes is very difficult for a person, and that goes both ways.
3. Do different races have intrinsically different cultures? What is the "black community" or the "black experience" or the "black culture?"
No.
4. Do different races have different patterns of behavior, criminal or otherwise?
No. See Response to No. 1.
5. Are some races just better at certain things than others. For example, match your talking points to the reality of the race of (virtually?) all NFL cornerbacks and the preponderance of asian engineers and scientists in top PHD programs around our country.
No. See Response to No. 1.
6. Is it even conceivable that certain kinds of crimes are more likely to be committed by certain races of humans?
Yes, it is conceivable. But, see response to No. 1.
7. If profiling a crime works, should it be done away with because it may hurt someone's feelings?
Which crimes are you talking about? Profiling is often used with proactive (as opposed to reactive) policing. In that sense, profiling should be done away with, along with the crime.
