@Yek So unless your asking people to forget their daily reality to fit academic standards that are, ultimately, arbitrated upon the amount of precision deemed good enough, race is a legitimate category in terms of its utility for the common man, the society he lives in, and the politics he follows.

you don't even have to look at large groups,
if you have the chance to go to a diverse and multiethnic school,
you'll quickly notice that quite often the black kids hang out with other black kids, Asians seem to coalesce same with Latinos..

That's not to say that individuals from one group can't talk with other groups or even be friends with others..
but statistically, if you look at the clusters in any given high-school, birds of a feather usually flock together.

Yeah

Indeed

We just like what is similar to us

@Yek there is, this is just you placing too much value on what is shared, there are still observable and vast distinctions which are manifest in equally observable phenotypical distinctions

Yes but have you considered pee pee poo poo

@Yek To argue otherwise is to say (in a hypothetical situation) that the sun shouldn't be classified by farmers as any different from any other star because to categorize it otherwise is academically pointless and makes arbitrary and trite distinctions that have no academic utility.

If you are white

You have white friends

Huwhite

I mean all stars are equal

@Leaf "this is just you placing too much value on what is shared"

its not about what I value, SNPs by definition is small.

Wouldn't want to discriminate or anything

except the dwarves.. because fuck those guys

There are more differences between M type stars than between them and other star types, y'know?

@Yek ok, elaborate your point or stop tagging me in your irrelevant statements lol

I was talking about dwarf stars of course 😉

Gay wink

because I don't want to get browned

Recessive memes

I mean, can we even categorize dwarf stars as any different? Each dwarf is really unique and more different than another dwarf star than say a dwarf compared to our sun, ya know?

@Leaf Ive been pretty elaborate on my point. Phenotypical adaptations like skin color, hair color, blood, etc. cant cluster humans into a lower taxonomical frequency. Theres just not enough variation to use those as proxies because they account for little of the genome. Not my falut lol.

@J-P still nothing no links or memes

My thoughts: People who value their heritage should preserve it, and they naturally ostracize those who don't. It's natural segregation; forced association or forced dissassociation is stupid. A lot can be done in researching and talking and joking about race differences before ostracism even becomes tangible. Telling people what to do rather than why is stupid, and people will make up their own minds in their own time.

>not enough variation

well shit, nigga, lets throw all taxonomy out the window if there has to be a set number of differences

@David "Gaben" Cameron even not talking about taxonomy this is true

it's not about the percentage of the genome that is different

I mean, its totally not like someone's phenotype can give insight into their behavior

thats called stereotyping

@Yek Dude, the presence of any difference, even if that amounts to a single distinction, is enough to categorize

@David "Gaben" Cameron never said you cant categorize it

That's called observing genetic expressions

Watch a few of dr edward dutton's videos

seterotypes are true

^^^

13 do 50

that's why they exist

"NOT ALL X ARE Y"

@esotericpazuzuism ?? ok
