Not offensive, just bad logic.

A wider or longer nose or brow or different melanin levels in the skin doesn't imply differences in internal organs, including the brain.

The fact that your argument has been made by many racists throughout the years might lead you to believe that I would group your post in with those hateful people's ideas and be offended, but that's not the case.

Just didn't want a good argument to get derailed by faulty logic.
