“analyzed the number of mushroom-shaped “fungiform” papillae on the tongues “

For whatever reason, Miley Cyrus popped to mind.

I remember my high school biology teacher passing out pieces of paper soaked in a chemical that was either tasteless or very bitter based on your genetics. I wonder if this is related.

Also, is this a case of individuals either tasting or not tasting the difference in bitter foods with a higher percentage of Chinese being in the taster group, or if the ability to discern these bitter foods is more finely divided?

The reason seems to be related to an anatomical difference upon the tongue surfaces of these two groups.

This is impossible, because "race" is a "social construct," as the SJWs do not tire of screaming in our faces.
