Look, I fucking hate niggers, but this is retarded.

Those two jackals are not "very distinct species" just because the meme says so.

They are sub-species, which is categorically different.

I saw another version of this meme with zebras being called horses and shitskins (football world cup winners, in fact) being called french people. Very funny btw. Now I don't think zebras are the same species as horses.

hey,

you're right.

zebras, donkeys, and horses are all distinct species, but they all fall under the same genus, so very closely related.

It's sort of why they can usually interbreed, but their offspring are almost always sterile.

To be totally clear, if it weren't politically charged, Africans would absolutely be considered a different sub-species, but they are categorically the same species as caucasians and asians

Well yea, zebras are closer to donkeys than horses genetically.

I don't usually (or really ever) trust what someone on Voat says, so I looked it up, and shit, you are right haha

There is an image a bit down the page

Thanks for the share

I learned it in a manga. But it isn't like I can say that's my source, lol. The manga was right about dogs/wolves, hyenas and lions. I just assume it is factually accurate when it talks about other species now as I got tired of checking.
