Need to go now

2019-04-10 07:45:10 UTC  

Thx for actually debating me

2019-04-10 07:45:15 UTC  

A lot of people refuse to

2019-04-10 07:45:19 UTC  

eh

2019-04-10 07:45:23 UTC  

its fine

2019-04-10 07:45:25 UTC  

was fun

2019-04-10 08:47:22 UTC  
2019-04-10 08:47:44 UTC  

fuck off with that shit

2019-04-10 08:55:42 UTC  

Why is my skull different from a black mans skull

2019-04-10 11:24:23 UTC  

Because you're a different person

2019-04-10 11:24:32 UTC  

It's not like every black person has the same skull

2019-04-10 11:24:42 UTC  

How do you define what a race is?

2019-04-10 11:24:49 UTC  

Is it someone's skull shape?

2019-04-10 11:25:04 UTC  

Is it their skin colour?

2019-04-10 11:25:10 UTC  

Is it their eye shape?

2019-04-10 11:25:19 UTC  

Is it their body shape?

2019-04-10 11:25:56 UTC  

There is no one definition for race and genetically the idea of a biologically defined race doesn't hold up @Gerry

2019-04-10 11:27:17 UTC  

I like being Mixed Race

2019-04-10 11:27:21 UTC  

Means I'm special

2019-04-10 11:30:38 UTC  

Lol

2019-04-10 11:31:03 UTC  

Seriously though there's a statement here from the American Anthropological Association

2019-04-10 11:31:34 UTC  

@Gerry 94% of genetic variance lies within "racial" groups

2019-04-10 11:33:46 UTC  

And because of the way that traits like skin colour gradually change over a geographical area, eg skin gradually becoming darker, prominence of double eyelids gradually decreasing its impossible to assign a certain group of people to a specific race as humans are simply not seperated enough from each other

2019-04-10 11:34:54 UTC  

And if race is so clear cut then why is there no specific legal definition for it?

2019-04-10 11:40:57 UTC  

Surely it would be easy to catogarise someone like Brit as a specific race

2019-04-10 11:41:19 UTC  

But you can't cos he's half Spanish, half Bangladeshi

2019-04-10 11:41:54 UTC  

And if humans really are split into distinct and seperate racial groups where does he fall?

2019-04-10 11:42:43 UTC  

Bangladeshi

2019-04-10 11:42:48 UTC  

The whole idea really just falls apart when you use more than one braincell, some research and a little bit of common sense to think ab ut it

2019-04-10 11:42:54 UTC  

Oh shit sorry lol

2019-04-10 11:43:21 UTC  

It's alright dude

2019-04-10 12:22:04 UTC  

Well there is

2019-04-10 12:22:24 UTC  

And it can be based of where the person has descended from

2019-04-10 12:22:37 UTC  

So brits would be Indo European

2019-04-10 12:23:13 UTC  

Skin color does not matter as much

2019-04-10 12:35:50 UTC  

I mean ultimately all humans are descended from Africans as that's where homo sapiens evolved

2019-04-10 12:36:10 UTC  

How do you define how far back you go to decide what "race" someone is?

2019-04-10 12:42:52 UTC  

Well it’s just a theory that all humans came from Africa

2019-04-10 12:43:43 UTC  

So I would go for when write history was a big think

2019-04-10 14:16:13 UTC  

@The Lemon How do you define someone’s race? Well it’s actually quite simple. In a non-scientific way, you can gather a lot of information by looking at someone generally, it’s not particularly difficult to tell whether someone is white black, Asian (with some Grey in between).

According to Neuroscientist Dr. Jean-François Gariépy the scientific definition of race is the measurable Sub-Division of hereditary characteristics in isolated populations. (Yes Europeans have been isolated from Africans genetically for tens of thousands of years, including South East Asians, Native Americans, and Australian Aboriginals.

Additionally, 23 & me, Ancestry.com, and the Google corporation’s teams of geneticists, biologists , and Physical Anthropologists have no problem in determining who fits into what racial group and why. Also, the world’s leading population Genetics expert and Harvard lecture Dr. David Reich, not only asserts that their are taxonomical differences between races, but categorising them isn’t arbitrary (although he makes poor refutations of Rightist racial arguments within his New York Times Article).
