kinda funny how white redneck americans love to get a dna test as proof they are tied to the great white race only to find they have blood in them from Africa ,, hahaha

2017-10-12 03:09:54 UTC  

Yeah, well, we pretty much all do.

2017-10-12 03:11:52 UTC  

all do what ?

2017-10-12 03:12:10 UTC  

oh,, have blood from Africa got it

2017-10-12 03:12:45 UTC  

Yeah.

"Race is a social construct"

2017-10-12 05:09:47 UTC  

*Laughs in oppressive French accent*

2017-10-12 05:10:24 UTC  

hmm, this room needs a reason to exist

2017-10-12 06:09:03 UTC  

Yeah, race is a social construct.

2017-10-12 06:09:28 UTC  

We arbitrated it.

2017-10-12 06:14:26 UTC  

I mean, genetic differences clearly do exist.
Are they significant? *That's* up for debate. But surely there's no denying genetic differences on group scales.

2017-10-12 06:35:57 UTC  

I'm not ignoring genetic differences, but most of them happen within populations.

2017-10-12 06:36:04 UTC  

AKA ethnic groups.

2017-10-12 06:38:06 UTC  

That's true but there are certainly some that distinguish ethnic groups from each other.

2017-10-12 06:44:19 UTC  

Nothing substantial enough to qualify a different species.

2017-10-12 06:44:45 UTC  

Not a different species, no.

2017-10-12 06:45:49 UTC  

Perhaps better, then, to say not that race doesn't exist, but rather that it is exaggerated.

2017-10-12 06:49:28 UTC  

Well, people are definitely different in different parts of the world, but race is qualified as a social category.

2017-10-12 06:50:14 UTC  

Fare enuf

2017-10-12 06:50:41 UTC  

race don't carry intelligence genes

2017-10-12 06:51:14 UTC  

opportunity / health / education and perceptions = intelligence

2017-10-12 06:52:11 UTC  

The thing that complicates race is the inclusion of social elements.

2017-10-12 06:52:16 UTC  

Which are physical how?

2017-10-12 06:52:30 UTC  

I would definitely say that socioeconimics is a greater contributor to intellignece than ethnicity. But to say that intelligence isn't heritable *at all*? That's absurd.

2017-10-12 06:52:43 UTC  

Why not have both?

2017-10-12 06:52:46 UTC  

Yes, btw, that is how intelligence is perceived.

2017-10-12 06:52:54 UTC  

Race being biological verified

2017-10-12 06:53:03 UTC  

and its qualities both being hammered by genes

2017-10-12 06:53:07 UTC  

and most importantly the environment

2017-10-12 06:53:11 UTC  

i.e socioeconomics

2017-10-12 06:53:13 UTC  

material conditions

2017-10-12 06:53:15 UTC  

and the like

2017-10-12 06:53:16 UTC  

Maybe, there's a lot of things that effect intelligence.

2017-10-12 06:53:19 UTC  

Plus hegemony

2017-10-12 06:53:25 UTC  

Yeh

2017-10-12 06:53:27 UTC  

lots

2017-10-12 06:53:37 UTC  

@Dushman Yeah. That's closest to my thinking.

2017-10-12 06:53:39 UTC  

But to disregard genes or environment

2017-10-12 06:53:43 UTC  

is going further

2017-10-12 06:53:46 UTC
