im saying, the least blended with other foreign bodies

2018-10-24 03:22:06 UTC  

Decolonization was a mistake.

2018-10-24 03:22:11 UTC  

Obviously there are differences between groups, but where we decide to draw the line is the social construct aspect of race

2018-10-24 03:22:21 UTC  

well when did the lines of where people can live get drawn?

2018-10-24 03:22:33 UTC  

It was a dynamic process.

2018-10-24 03:22:43 UTC  

Through millenia of diplomacy and warfare.

2018-10-24 03:22:51 UTC  

like should we freeze the territory maps from like the year 1340?

2018-10-24 03:23:10 UTC  

and everyone whos a particular nationality simply move back to their designated nation/

2018-10-24 03:23:16 UTC  

its the same thing with race

2018-10-24 03:23:20 UTC  

race doesnt exist

2018-10-24 03:23:28 UTC  

there are geographical features that determine some of it, but obviously the line is constantly changing

2018-10-24 03:23:29 UTC  

georgraphically common features do

2018-10-24 03:23:40 UTC  

but thats it.

2018-10-24 03:23:59 UTC  

That's like saying money doesn't exist.

2018-10-24 03:24:01 UTC  

its always been a constantly morphing thing, and always will be.

2018-10-24 03:24:07 UTC  

money does exist

2018-10-24 03:24:14 UTC  

what kind of sperg analogy is that

2018-10-24 03:24:24 UTC  

Exactly. But its function and definition is defined by social construction.

2018-10-24 03:24:25 UTC  

there is nothing scientific about race

2018-10-24 03:24:31 UTC  

it cannot be accurately defined

2018-10-24 03:24:34 UTC  

Its value is defined and allocated by societal convention.

2018-10-24 03:24:42 UTC  

only individual features that one "might" have

2018-10-24 03:24:51 UTC  

It does exist at some level, but our exact categories are arbitrary

2018-10-24 03:25:08 UTC  

race is a social construct

2018-10-24 03:25:14 UTC  

its about as accurate as calories

2018-10-24 03:25:17 UTC  

Uh...sure it can? A collection of genetic features common to human groups of similar descent, usually concentrated to a certain area.

2018-10-24 03:25:23 UTC  

whicccchhhhh isnt very accurate to say the least

2018-10-24 03:25:31 UTC  

yeah but book

2018-10-24 03:25:33 UTC  

those dont exist

2018-10-24 03:25:40 UTC  

in everyone in that area

2018-10-24 03:25:46 UTC  

and not all features are present in all of them

2018-10-24 03:25:52 UTC  

and none of those features are exclusive to them

2018-10-24 03:26:03 UTC  

fuck your sister might even have different features than you

2018-10-24 03:26:06 UTC  

Also, a calorie is a pretty precise measurement of energy.

2018-10-24 03:26:16 UTC  

if your body digested 100% of it

2018-10-24 03:26:20 UTC  

and uhh

2018-10-24 03:26:23 UTC  

used it as energy

2018-10-24 03:26:34 UTC  

buuuuuttttt human body doesnt work that way pal lol

2018-10-24 03:26:51 UTC  

ever notice corn in your shit?

2018-10-24 03:26:59 UTC  

We're clearly talking about calorie in different ways.

2018-10-24 03:27:01 UTC  

Calories are an exact amount, it just has a lot of variables
