Both ways it’s an interesting question.

I wonder what the fastest platypus gets promoted to.

The albino raccoon in my backyard got beaten up by the other raccoons. I suspect whenever there’s a subpopulation of a species which is identifiably different, there will be suspicion and conflict.

Doesn’t the slowest cheetah usually starve to death?

That’s what zoomies are. Winner gets to take more zoomies.

Brilliant. Thank you. :)

Animals don’t have races or ethnic differences, as far as I am concerned. They’re just creatures living in the wild that just so happen to all be different species.

Ahhh, Privilege!

I always thought that grizzly bears, polar bears, and panda bears were equivalent to different races.

I attend a very diverse church, this could have been a discussion among our youngest children. Growing up in a community where a mother may be one color and the father another color, they accept color, but are blind to hatred of racism. However, as they grow up in the world, they become aware.

Considering life’s tough questions. Excellent work, Tauhid.

I’ve been told* that both black and grey squirrels may be found in the same litter.

*by someone I met on a street awash in squirrels; thus it must be squirrel gospel.

I didn’t think of “race” race I immediately thought of just a bunch of animals racing

That was gooood!

Animals compete to see who is the fastest, quickest, smartest, etc…, everyday. It’s called lunch.

As someone who might still be inclined to, if she had magical reality-warping powers, turn the whole of humanity into anthro furries, and part of the reasoning was "the old racism couldn’t hold because how would you know if a lion’s ancestors were First People, African or even European, since the only deciding factor is they had to exist there during the last glacial period…

This reminds me that a lot of people brought up it’d likely just lead to a further splintering. And it’s not like even my fictions don’t eventually have a major problem caused by German wolves…

So the dumbest human gets demoted to chimp.
