Race is basically confirmation bias

2018-05-30 21:29:08 UTC  

So you're saying blacks aren't black?

2018-05-30 21:29:14 UTC  

And whites aren't white?

2018-05-30 21:29:19 UTC  

i'm saying there is no reason to pick one set of 'K buckets' from another

2018-05-30 21:29:22 UTC  

scary link

2018-05-30 21:29:35 UTC  

LOL

or 'cline seperations'

or demes

or haplogroups

people are directed by their confirmation bias to see what they want to see from data that doesn't point in any objective direction

2018-05-30 21:30:21 UTC  

IF I see a black man, I am automatically biased for seeing him as black?

not in the biological sense only in a sociological sense

2018-05-30 21:30:31 UTC  

Sociological.

2018-05-30 21:30:34 UTC  

are all people affected by confirmation bias?

i assume that they do, right?

Yes but this means we could arbuitary pick any K numbers for how we seperate the human 'clines' and say those are racial groups. **If all the answers for how many races there are are true then it doesn't give any useful information other than confirming our own ideas about the world.**

2018-05-30 21:34:22 UTC  

if that's the case, then that means you're clearly wrong as you see it with a confirmation bias, as you see what you want to see from data that doesn't point in any objective direction

which means anyone who argues it does is working from confirmation bias

It would be like someone saying

BLUE is objective a colour

well **what about light blue is it a different colour some people think so and there's nothing to say they're wrong**

2018-05-30 21:35:23 UTC  

so essentially no one is right then

2018-05-30 21:35:28 UTC  

since we all see it with a confirmation bias

2018-05-30 21:36:01 UTC  

it's either that

well there is one answer, we're all the same genus and divisions below the taxnomy group of genus are abruitary

2018-05-30 21:36:05 UTC  

or just denial of facts 🤔

2018-05-30 21:36:19 UTC  

"oh it's just confirmation bias race doesn't exist"

2018-05-30 21:36:27 UTC  

but it seems to me you'd prefer to just ignore fact altogether

2018-05-30 21:36:35 UTC  

Aye but people with black skin have different characteristics than white people.

im not ignoring facts

2018-05-30 21:36:39 UTC  

and hundreds of sources i've given
