technically there are human races

2018-06-25 22:26:53 UTC  

that's not a social construct

2018-06-25 22:27:28 UTC  

Yes I know there are outliers but as I said the average is what is important.

2018-06-25 22:27:56 UTC  

Alright, If you want to get all Wikipedia on me 😉 But really, Race (White, Black, Yellow, etc) was developed by an anthropologist

2018-06-25 22:28:15 UTC  

context is whats important
not the average

2018-06-25 22:28:44 UTC  

American blacks for example commit over 50% of violent crimes so should I treat them the same as a white or Asian person?

2018-06-25 22:28:54 UTC  

lol

2018-06-25 22:29:19 UTC  

yes, you should TREAT them the same initially,

That said, due to statistics, you are absolutely in your right to be a bit skeptical about them

2018-06-25 22:29:32 UTC  

and are open to change your treatment based on experience

2018-06-25 22:29:48 UTC  

There are distinct physiclogical and medical differences between many, many ethnic groups. Sub-saharan africans are more likely to develop sickle-cell disease, for example.

2018-06-25 22:30:03 UTC  

but this does prove the point though,

racism isn't natural, you judge them based on experience and evidence, not instinct

2018-06-25 22:30:26 UTC  

Which was a mutation which allowed them to survive malaria

2018-06-25 22:30:34 UTC  

Fuck no would you treat someone who is more likely to be criminal with someone who is less likely to be criminal?

2018-06-25 22:30:35 UTC  

Racism is entirely natural, it's an in/out group mechanic. But just because something is 'natural' doesn't mean it's good.

2018-06-25 22:30:49 UTC  

Depends on the point of view and situation mostly

2018-06-25 22:30:50 UTC  

If yuo don't know they're a criminal, how could you tell?

2018-06-25 22:30:51 UTC  

just like the Inuit have developed genes which allow them to survive on 100% meat and fat diet.

2018-06-25 22:31:28 UTC  

for all you know, we have rapists in this very channel, but you don't know, so you treat them as innocent until proven guilty

2018-06-25 22:31:31 UTC  

I mean, cinnabar is an entirely natural mineral. As is asbestos.

2018-06-25 22:31:35 UTC  

In America, Everyone is a Criminal, The majority of the population just hasn't been caught yet.

2018-06-25 22:31:43 UTC  

I know from the statistics we know blacks commit over 50% of violent crime so why should they be treated the same?

2018-06-25 22:31:49 UTC  

Thats just "in the eyes of the government" windwalkr 😉

2018-06-25 22:31:55 UTC  

True

2018-06-25 22:31:56 UTC  

Treated the same in what way?

2018-06-25 22:32:03 UTC  

as human beigns

2018-06-25 22:32:13 UTC  

Yes I know their humans

2018-06-25 22:32:28 UTC  

because the rest of them don't do the crime,

And until you know, you can't make the call to treat them any less

2018-06-25 22:32:44 UTC  

I mean as at risk crimals.

2018-06-25 22:33:13 UTC  

might be a good watch

2018-06-25 22:33:19 UTC  

If your talking about policing for example, it would be very dumb to split your police force 50-50 between two sections of the county if one has more crime than the other

2018-06-25 22:33:27 UTC  

yes like i said, you are in your right to be more skeptical and keep a closer eye on them,

You do not however have the right to consider them guilty criminals simply because the statistics say they're more likely to

2018-06-25 22:33:29 UTC  

Their 15% of the population but commit over 50% of the violent crime that sounds like most of them do commit violent crime.

2018-06-25 22:34:04 UTC  

How would you treat them differently knowing this information?

2018-06-25 22:34:11 UTC  

I said at rist crimals meaning they are more likely to commit crime which is true.

2018-06-25 22:34:30 UTC  

yes, and i'm not arguing that, in fact i'm saying you would be very wise to take precautions

2018-06-25 22:34:31 UTC  

@Blackhawk342 I wouldn't want to be around them.

2018-06-25 22:35:00 UTC  

Thats fine, its your perrogative to remove yourself from places where they are or go to places that dont have them

2018-06-25 22:35:09 UTC  

exactly
