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?

2019-04-16 14:15:49 UTC  

The douche in the front seat

2019-04-16 14:15:53 UTC  

Because if there is a difference then surely you'd be able to definitively cut it off at a certain n point

2019-04-16 14:16:14 UTC  

Suspension and towing capacity, the pick up truck has 2 times more of that than the car does.

2019-04-16 14:16:16 UTC  

But it's not like you have discrede values of towing power and suspension for all cars and lickups

2019-04-16 14:16:22 UTC  

dont mute me

2019-04-16 14:16:26 UTC  

i have some time to debate

2019-04-16 14:16:29 UTC  
2019-04-16 14:16:54 UTC  

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

2019-04-16 14:17:08 UTC  

When does the car become a pickup and vica versa

2019-04-16 14:17:45 UTC  

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.

2019-04-16 14:18:08 UTC  

OK so that's one specific thing all pickups have

2019-04-16 14:18:20 UTC  

That’s a specific difference

2019-04-16 14:18:21 UTC  

Now give me one specific thing all black people have

2019-04-16 14:18:31 UTC  

It makes them distinct

2019-04-16 14:18:39 UTC  

...

-mute @Deleted User gaymer time

2019-04-16 14:19:04 UTC  

🔇 Muted `Wrath#3759` for `10 minutes`

2019-04-16 14:19:16 UTC  

Huh

2019-04-16 14:19:24 UTC  

-unmute @Deleted User just kidding

2019-04-16 14:19:24 UTC  

🔊 Unmuted `Wrath#3759`

2019-04-16 14:19:39 UTC  

:v i feel the suspense

2019-04-16 14:19:41 UTC  

To make this analogy valid you need to compare blacks to another group

2019-04-16 14:19:57 UTC  

So who do you want me to compare them to?

2019-04-16 14:20:07 UTC  

On one specific difference between black people and Arabs for example

2019-04-16 14:21:06 UTC  

🤔

2019-04-16 14:23:28 UTC  

Okay so where does the Arab and African world start and end for you?

2019-04-16 14:23:50 UTC  

The border of Egypt is where it ends

2019-04-16 14:24:06 UTC  

That's the border of Africa and Asia by definition

2019-04-16 14:26:38 UTC  

Epic gaymer moment

2019-04-16 14:26:57 UTC  

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.

2019-04-16 14:26:59 UTC  

mr blue is a gaymer

2019-04-16 14:27:03 UTC  

hes a big gaymer

2019-04-16 14:28:00 UTC  

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

2019-04-16 14:28:02 UTC  

@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

2019-04-16 14:28:10 UTC  

So that doesn't prove your analogy

2019-04-16 14:28:20 UTC  

@Deleted User Indians are not Arabs

2019-04-16 14:28:30 UTC  

Arabs refers to the Arabian peninsula

2019-04-16 14:28:55 UTC  

We have to talk in generalities, because I would say the opposite is more divergent
