Orange isnt even a cat race. Its a fur color.

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Isn't that the same with humans and skin color?

[–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 year ago

It's closer to hair color for cats. Race would be more like the breed of the cat.

Not exactly, especially not in places where slaves were treated like livestock and quite literally bred for certain attributes (size and strength).

Dark, and not exactly something one likes to think possible, but it did happen. The genetic crucible that was slavery had a lasting impact on the genes of their descendants.

Edit: Imagine being downvoted for talking about history. Idiots.

Isn't it also genetically that all orange cats are male?

[–] Mischala@lemmy.nz 10 points 1 year ago

Not all, but the majority.
The gene that's responsible for fur color is on the X chromosome.
