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

2018-10-24 03:27:11 UTC  

not even

2018-10-24 03:27:22 UTC  

if you measured a bunch of potatoes

2018-10-24 03:27:27 UTC  

or rather

2018-10-24 03:27:30 UTC  

pizzas

2018-10-24 03:27:32 UTC  

lets say pizzas

2018-10-24 03:27:41 UTC  

we rarely eat whole foods

2018-10-24 03:28:00 UTC  

if you ate a cut of meat with slightly more or less fat, you just changed the calories

2018-10-24 03:28:01 UTC  

"These traits and features are more common in this group of people in this area." I don't understand why that isn't fairly self evident as existing.

2018-10-24 03:28:13 UTC  

that's not science

2018-10-24 03:28:19 UTC  

It's...reality?

2018-10-24 03:28:20 UTC  

thats like, arbitrary features

2018-10-24 03:28:22 UTC  

If you attempted to use the same recipe each time the calories would appear in a certain frequency and range

2018-10-24 03:28:33 UTC  

that weird nose you have

2018-10-24 03:28:39 UTC  

your mom might not have it

2018-10-24 03:28:41 UTC  

is she a different race?

2018-10-24 03:28:54 UTC  

Obviously not.

2018-10-24 03:29:00 UTC  

how is that obvious

2018-10-24 03:29:16 UTC  

No but you have 50% of her DNA

2018-10-24 03:29:20 UTC  

race is like a list of 100 ingredients that you need to have maybe 20% of to be in the club

2018-10-24 03:29:21 UTC  

What definition of race are you using, Kyle?

2018-10-24 03:29:42 UTC  

and some DNA connection to people in an approximate area over other areas

2018-10-24 03:29:45 UTC  

because realistically, even within what you would consider a "race" there are a mile long list of potential features and outcomes
