all do what ?
oh,, have blood from Africa got it
Yeah.
"Race is a social construct"
*Laughs in oppressive French accent*
hmm, this room needs a reason to exist
Yeah, race is a social construct.
We arbitrated it.
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.
I'm not ignoring genetic differences, but most of them happen within populations.
AKA ethnic groups.
That's true but there are certainly some that distinguish ethnic groups from each other.
Nothing substantial enough to qualify a different species.
Not a different species, no.
Perhaps better, then, to say not that race doesn't exist, but rather that it is exaggerated.
Well, people are definitely different in different parts of the world, but race is qualified as a social category.
Fare enuf
race don't carry intelligence genes
opportunity / health / education and perceptions = intelligence
Which are physical how?
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.
Why not have both?
Yes, btw, that is how intelligence is perceived.
Race being biological verified
and its qualities both being hammered by genes
and most importantly the environment
i.e socioeconomics
material conditions
and the like
Maybe, there's a lot of things that effect intelligence.
Plus hegemony
Yeh
lots
@Dushman Yeah. That's closest to my thinking.
But to disregard genes or environment
is going further
where
But race is qualified by social relations.
