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

So blacks aren't black?

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

how many of them are epigentic studies

2018-05-30 21:37:14 UTC  

take a look for yourself

how many are medical studies

if you looked through all those studies

then you would know lol

2018-05-30 21:39:01 UTC  

if race isn't real then mixing races shouldn't affect anything

just because race isn't biological real doesn't mean it has no affect i.e sociology studies the effect that races has had on people and racism is an environmental factor to consider.

your conclusion is still centred on 'confirmation bias' that it must be **biological race** the factor then you use that to justify biological race which is circular reasoning.

if you look through the lens of the brown man
