Is it someone's skull shape?
Is it their skin colour?
Is it their eye shape?
Is it their body shape?
There is no one definition for race and genetically the idea of a biologically defined race doesn't hold up @Gerry
I like being Mixed Race
Means I'm special
Lol
Seriously though there's a statement here from the American Anthropological Association
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
And if race is so clear cut then why is there no specific legal definition for it?
Surely it would be easy to catogarise someone like Brit as a specific race
But you can't cos he's half Spanish, half Bangladeshi
And if humans really are split into distinct and seperate racial groups where does he fall?
Bangladeshi
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
Oh shit sorry lol
It's alright dude
And it can be based of where the person has descended from
So brits would be Indo European
Skin color does not matter as much
I mean ultimately all humans are descended from Africans as that's where homo sapiens evolved
How do you define how far back you go to decide what "race" someone is?
Well it’s just a theory that all humans came from Africa
So I would go for when write history was a big think
@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).
Furthermore, I’m glad you brought up the the Richard Lewotin fallacy, just because the majority of variation is within groups (it’s important to also note that Lewotin only proved this level of variation in terms of blood proteins), the 6% of variation is still significant. Humans share 99.99% of our genes with Chimpanzees. We know that races have different genes, but the question is do these genes have an affect or are they not active. The 9 snips of DNA that have whites have in genes related to IQ that blacks don’t , along with the Minnesota twin study, and Dr. John Philippe Rushton South African university IQ study. In this regard alone.
Also every country that gives census data regarding race has to provide a legal definition for it you absolute nonce. In the US for example, both the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the United States Census Bureau provide one: https://factfinder.census.gov/help/en/race.htm
6% of genetics that isn't shared is entirely different to 6% of genetic variation you're trying to equate those two thiggs
And yes there are legal definitions
Which vary widely depending on the country and time period
And often contradict
Hence there is no one clear definition
Ultimately, this is the same arguments for race denial are being pushed by you and the Libtard sanity project, which were peddled by Jewess Ashley Montagnu in her book (which you definitely haven’t read), Man’s most dangerous myth: the fallacy of race. Nothing has changed 70 years onward.
Guess the word gay is invalid because its definition has changed over time. That’s a piss poor argument.
Are you saying that gay people don’t exist?
How homophobic
The definition of gay in relation to sexuality hasn't changed over time
It wasn’t known as gay then though, so it originally wasn’t related to sexuality
