Race and Eye Color

The ubiquitous and pervasive claim that humans belong to one race is held with the utmost religious fervor of an orthodox Jew or Islamic jihadist. While religion may assert the veracity of this belief, science does not. One interesting example of the substantive differences between the races is eye color.

Contrary to your religious shaman, people are not the same car except for the paint color. Even if that were the only difference, it would be substantial and profound with respect to skin pigmentation. We will narrow our examination of this fascinating aspect of human differences by considering iris color.

According to Eric Ford, the skins of White and colored people are structured differently. Whites respond protectively to sunlight with vasodilation, whereas pigmented people respond with melanin reactions. Both racial groups are susceptible to sun damage, but in different ways.

While many pseudo-scientists contend that eye color is a matter of melanin, such is not the case as Ford remarks,

Blue eyes are a result of light scattering from the fibrous structure in the iris that is called the stroma, which has a back layer that is pigmented, called the epithelium.

To restate the matter, White blue eyed people have no melanin in their stromas, in contradistinction to blacks who have it in varying degrees which explains their brown to black eye colors. Both groups of people have the same epithelium color of brown/black. The reason for the blue eye color is that white eyes scatter light, thus giving the blue or grey effect, whereas eyes with melanin absorbs light, causing iris color to assume black or brown hues.

Furthermore, the pseudo-scientists claim that blue eyes are a chance genetic mutation of the evolutionary process. Aside from the fact that this pathetic theory is a fantasy, it fails to explain why whites with blue eyes do not have any vestigial melanocytes in their genes. Since they do not, even if one adheres to the fantasy, it alone proves distinct and different ontological provenance. 

The melanin found in people of pigment is called eumelanin. The adaptive response of pigmented people who move to cooler climates is to produce less melanin - not to change eye structure.

In one of his articles, Ford concludes,

This phenomenon, which is known as Structural Coloration, is only found in the white race and rarely with those who are mixed with them. There are also varieties of this trait, such as grey eyes, which occurs with excess collagen in the iris as well as green eyes which comes from yellow (blond) melanin and structural color.

We know that this information is not religiously compatible with most people, but we appeal to science over religion. People of different races cannot help how they were born - eye color is a fact of birth, and science explains the difference which has nothing to do with evolution or coming out of Africa.
