Difference is what allows us to differentiate between groups and say they exist independent to the other. Going back to the car and pickup truck analogy, the variation is the different types of cars and pick up trucks that exist. But the difference is how these two groups are distinct. The car doesn’t have the towing capacity of the pick up truck and has more suspension. But the towing capacity and suspension are variants of the pick up trucks.
So where is the definitive cut off between a car and a pick up?
The douche in the front seat
Because if there is a difference then surely you'd be able to definitively cut it off at a certain n point
Suspension and towing capacity, the pick up truck has 2 times more of that than the car does.
But it's not like you have discrede values of towing power and suspension for all cars and lickups
dont mute me
i have some time to debate
But you said there is variation so whaf if there's a low suspension variant of a pickup and a high suspension variant of a car
When does the car become a pickup and vica versa
Okay maybe the towing point is weak. But all Pickup trucks have an exposed boot, that’s a more significant difference between them and cars.
OK so that's one specific thing all pickups have
That’s a specific difference
Now give me one specific thing all black people have
It makes them distinct

:v i feel the suspense
To make this analogy valid you need to compare blacks to another group
So who do you want me to compare them to?
On one specific difference between black people and Arabs for example
🤔
Okay so where does the Arab and African world start and end for you?
The border of Egypt is where it ends
That's the border of Africa and Asia by definition
Epic gaymer moment
Okay, in terms of admixture, Sub Saharan blacks are intermixed with Arabs, While Arabs especially in the Middle East are more admixed than Europeans. Arabs have straighter hair than Africans and have a yellow pigment, as different from a Black or a light black pigment.
mr blue is a gaymer
hes a big gaymer
If you want to call Indians Arab as well, indo European Indians have a white pigment and fair features, as different from Sub Saharan Africans
@Deleted User But that again isn't a distinct difference as some Arabs will have curlier hair than some Africans and some Arabs will have less of a yellow pigment than some Africans
So that doesn't prove your analogy
@Deleted User Indians are not Arabs
Arabs refers to the Arabian peninsula
We have to talk in generalities, because I would say the opposite is more divergent
