Why is this so?

Why are the most common mtDNAs in Europe predominantly of WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherer) and EEF or MEF (Early European Farmer/Middle Eastern Farmer) origin, whereas the most common y-DNA are of WSH or EHG (Western Steppe Herders or Eastern Hunter-Gatherer) origin?

How do you fight featurism?

For instance, East Asian men tend to have a larger forehead than their European counterparts, which often results in them hiding their foreheads with bangs instead of taking pride in it and showing it gracefully.

Why are Asian men considered unmanly in the West?

Here is my opinion, Whites, generally, consider shorter ethnic groups as unmanly. For instance, this can be observed with the treatment of Black Americans vs Black Britons. In the USA, Black and White men are roughly of the same stature (178.2 cm for Black men and 178.9 cm for White men). Black men are killed at a somewhat higher rate by the US cops, but they are also perceived as somewhat threatening and are respected to some extent.

Now, in England, Black men average 170 cm and White men average 179.76 cm. Now, despite being less likely to be killed by cops, they face more racism than Black American men do in the USA. They are also not as respected as Black American men are in the US.

In the early 20th century, Black men were perceived as superstitious, lazy, happy-go-lucky, ignorant, musical, ostentatious, very religious, stupid, physically dirty, and naïve.

By 2007, Black men in the USA were perceived as loud, loyal to family ties, talkative, musical, very religious, aggressive, sportsmanlike, passionate, gregarious, and materialistic.

Gordon Allport (1954) was one of the first academics to point out the possibilities of mixed stereotypes, when Jews and European/White immigrants were respected but disliked and “Negroes” were liked but disrespected.

Black women, in the early 20th century, were hypersexualised, whereas Black men were assxualised.
