Why should he get offended? For example me stating that average Bangladeshis have different skull types from Pakistanis, do Bangladeshis or ethnic Bengalis translate that as "inferior?" Too bad for them.
Or would they be sensible and apply the meaning of the term different? I've guessed ethnic Bengalis from Bangladesh three times from their skull types and guessed right after asking them.
So what exactly is the problem? And yeah i know co-creator of YT is German-Bengali and the Bengali side does show.
So what's wrong with noticing it? If I can differentiate a man from a woman by looking at their skull shapes, am I a sexist?
Or is it basic human biology? You get the point.
No one is taking any offense except for the hogwash concept of Craniometry that is being bandied about in here.
It's because Craniometry (determination of people's back ground and intelligence by skull volume) has long been seen as non-credible, deplorable and is historically a pseudo science that has been disproven in even the years prior to WWII. This was foisted by White Nationalists in the US as a pseudo scientific theory to support their racism policies in the early 1900s.
Even today the only reason some insufferable people look at this craniometry as a race theory - is to feel superior to people with other cranial (skull) types.
This was dismissed so many years ago and here you are singing its praise as a brown Pakistani. Lite Brown but still Brown.
Hard to believe really.
Maybe you would like to belong to White Nationalist groups - but it remains to be seen if they will approve your membership.
Here are some wiki entries on craniometry,

Samuel George Morton (1799–1851), one of the inspirers of
physical anthropology, collected hundreds of human skulls from all over the world and started trying to find a way to classify them according to some logical criterion. Influenced by the common theories of his time,
he claimed that he could judge the intellectual capacity of a race by the cranial capacity (the measure of the volume of the interior of the skull).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Craniometry posits that East Asians (Mongoloids) are most intelligent, followed by Aryan Caucasoids (which includes most of India East of Bengal), then Negroids (Black Africans). It is common knowledge that Bengalis as Indians have more East Asian blood than in people more further West in India.
Ergo - Bengalis can claim more intelligence than the rest of the subcontinent per your own craniometry theory. This is pure BS.
There are people in both Pakistan and Bangladesh who have this idea that people from each area are "superior" than the other based on one trait or another.
Accentuating these dreamed up differences (i.e. skull shape and volume) discounts the fact that people have mixed backgrounds all over the world. Even a Bengali has different Haplotypes from mother and father's side.
As soon as I hear this racial superiority and inferiority garbage coming from someone's mouth (owing to whatever pseudo science), my credence for that person's views goes down several notches.
In modern science - this has all been proven as hogwash. Genetics and Heredity have nothing to do with intelligence. It is more often shaped by the environment. This is clear when there were studies in the US on immigrants and children. Children born and bred in the new world had different skull shapes than their parents which means environment (meaning better nutrition) has more to do with cranial shape changes, and which flies in the face of your theory.
I am tired of stating the obvious to you again and again.
Hopefully others can argue the point with you, but please pardon me as I don't have the patience to do this anymore.
