does being lactose intolerant mean your not caucasoid?

i'm curious since i'm lactose intolerant myself.

I never knew it really had any connection to race until recently.
I also doubt i have african or east asian ancestry, though i have no doubt i have some middle eastern ancestry, could it be from middle eastern ancestry that i'm lactose intolerant? I developed lactose intolerance when i was 14 so i wasn't really born with it, and i can drink dairy in small portions..

Means you have mongoloid/african(n.african) origin.I know atleast 2 more albanians who are lactose intolerant on this forum atleast.

Not all Middle Eastern people are lactose intolerant, I believe its worse in East Asia:

No, but it does mean you're inferior.

around 40+% of Albanians are lactose intolerant. Northern Europe have the lowest rates, around 4-10%. Norway has a pop. of around 4% lactose intolerant people.

It's a new mutation. 10% of the Yamnayas had the gene for lactose tolerance. 0% Hunter Gatherers had it.

Basically lactose persistence/tolerance came with the Indo-European Steppe peoples during the Bronze Age. European Hunter-gatherers were mostly lactose intolerant until the interactions with Steppe peoples from West/Central Asia who brought the genes necessary to digest milk with the needed enzymes to break it down past childhood.

It may be true Early Europeans may have practiced dairy related activities to break down lactose, but the gene itself didn't start manifesting until the Bronze Age overall in order to tolerant it, hence, the lactose persistence mutation onwards was positively selected.

Have you taken 23andme test? Even if you have the genes for intolerence doesn't mean you cannot digest the sugar of cowmilk. I drink cowmilk in copious amounts no problem.
