What is the rarest ethnicity?

There's no single "rarest" ethnicity, as it depends on region and definition, but tiny groups like the Toto (India/Bhutan) or isolated tribes with only a few members, like some Andamanese groups, are among the smallest; conversely, the Tasmanians (Aboriginal Australians) are arguably extinct as a pure ethnicity, though descendants exist. Rarity can also refer to genetic uniqueness (like Khoisan) or small, endangered cultures (like the Votians in Europe), but generally, groups with populations under 100, 1,000, or 2,000 are considered extremely rare.

Scripture emphasizes that God values all people equally, showing no favoritism, and that racism stems from sin, not divine design, with the ultimate goal of unity in Christ where distinctions of Jew/Gentile, slave/free fade, as seen in Revelation's vision of people from every nation before God's throne.

Why is Tom Holland no longer Spider-Man?

We don't see Tom Holland's origin as Spider-Man because Marvel wanted to skip the familiar story, introducing him already a hero in Captain America: Civil War, focusing instead on his high-school life and MCU integration in Homecoming. The question "why don't we see Tom Holland become Spider-Man" usually refers to skipping the spider bite, which directors explained as a fresh approach to avoid retelling the origin story audiences already knew, but fans also debate the lack of emotional depth and reliance on Stark tech, while Holland himself has expressed readiness to pass the role on.
