I have no interest in discussing any of the specific searches. However, I wonder what would drive masses of people to ask such ludicrous questions. Who are these people anyways? Curious children? Ignorant bigots? Your next-door neighbor?

I think some of the questions make perfect sense.

It's not immediately obvious why black people have white skin on their palms.

The answer is that this part of the skin doesn't have the cells that produce melanin. White people don't have any melanin on their palms either, but with less contrast it's harder to tell.

Now why exactly is wanting to know the answer to this question about human physiology either racist or stupid?
