Marcellinus, want to join us to watch a movie?

is it retarded for someone to do a PCA on Major histocompatibility complex gene variation (using hapmap populations) on chromosome 6 to prove that races don't exist

like, looking at very specific gene loci and not seeing clustering among human populations

and using that as an anti-racialist argument

@TheUserNameofPeace get in vc

lol

What are you guys doing

https://twitter.com/JFGariepy/status/1190104966138138624

so this is the pca

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_histocompatibility_complex#Genes

Am I correct in identifying this as fallacious?

"see? No clustering on this very specific gene region!"

"races are false, if they existed, they should cluster as following:"

why should they?

is there a recipe for racial trait clustering now?

we should follow it

I know

personally i also think there could be more racial separation, it would be even more interesting

but i never needed any additional evidence after seeing my first couple of other races

it's weird to me how people want to pretend they don't notice

and very scary to imagine they actually can't

I understand that, and yet

shouldn't clustering occur when looking at many loci

you can still find a black guy that is a lot like yourself, and an indian dude that has the same face as your neighbour

doesn't it occur all over the place?

movie is working, watching Cube

isn't looking just at one gene dishonest

join chat to watch stream

dishonest as to what?

it's dishonest to want to "disprove" race

but when you look at a certain gene, you do that

I'm watching, and listening in VC, I just don't have a mic setup..

@You feel safe with an account I've come across a spaniard population genomics student

who says he's debunked race

because

@Leaf too badly we can't watch together. I will have it figured out for next time.

populations should cluster on this specific gene

and they dont

in his pca
