not biologists.

Well most people accept the concept of race

doesn't make it useful nor scientifically true

Why is it used in affirmative action?

Because its a political class of people who are and were oppressed

its not practical to look at their ancestry

on an individual basis.

Race wasn't even considered as color of skin until 1779 when Blumenbach proposed them in The Anthropological Treatises of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach.

Its all a social construct.

What we know is that generally, black people were and are treated unfairly in America.

Ok

Especially with regards to education

We also know that generally, black people have lower IQ

Schools in black area's will just be worst by virtue of having less funding

Not generally, statistically.

Yes true

Libertarians also have higher IQ's

than any other political group

You can't use race sometimes and deny it when you don't like it

How is that relevant?

Yes you can, I deny race as a scientific category

while also admitting it does exsist as a political group

and a descriptive group

Like red heads

or blondes

Just throwing that out there. I'm going to continue arguing as though I believe in the current construct of races, but I was stating that historically we didn't consider races as color of skin and such until the late 1700s.

or people with blue eyes

Its a fairly new idea.

In the history of the world.

they serve utility with regards to the description of people

and so does race

Yews

Im just claiming

but it serves very little utility scientifically speaking, if not any.

Sure

I can accept that

You can define race as broadly or as small as you want

GG @Yiddlemethisgoyim, you just advanced to level 3!

The problem is that the statistics about black people having lower IQs don't account for any sort of genetic, environmental, or additional factors. There is zero context.

It doesn't necissarily prove anything.

But then once again you know I'll come back to my earlier argument
