    No but it’s too universally agreed upon and ingrained into almost every modern society for us to just say it doesn’t exist anymore

    Universally agreed on within human society. That’s the whole point of what we’re saying. It only applies to our social behavior

    I agree with y’all I’m just saying we could talk about this all day but inless something happened socially that made acknowledging race no longer a viable tool for power it’s not going anywhere

    Besides the human brain has a tendency to categorize information. We’re kinda doomed to always identify others by our differences and similarities physically

    idea of race itself is a construct but its kinda pointless to say lol

    It's definitely a social constuct but that doesn't mean it's not as real as anything else

    Race doesn’t exist but there are specific biological factors that only affect people of certain groups

    Race was created by the Europeans as a means to control people soley on skin color.

    Are phenotypes real? What about DNA? In fact I don’t even think the whole field of biology is real

  • Jan 23, 2020

    I agree with you OP but unfortunately if enough people believe something is real it is effectively real

  • Awkward phrasing. . . it’s just more nuanced than that

    But you’re choosing what makes someone a different race. We’re still the same species but there’s no rules to race it’s something we created as a society

    That’s kinda how I look at it. We as a species are human. But their are different categories. Just like every other animal on the planet. There are variations of them all but still considered the same species.

    Race is defined by skin color, right?

    Ppl of certain skin tones may or may not share genetic pools i.e. groups of people restricted geologically that have mated with each other for long periods of time

    You can't necessarily tell which genetic background someone comes from based on skin tone due to modern interbreeding of populations that traditionally are separate
    That being said, many people today are still born from conserved population pools that evolved differently than other pools

    In the sense that someone might come from a genetically distinct background yea there are races. But you can't tell which genetic pool they're from or what it means just by looking at someone

    Race classification have no basis in biology it's a social construct remeber wathcing a video in my first year bio class 2 years ago about someone being from vietnam having more similarity in their genetics than someone in europe than someone in china, not by a lot, even look back when irish came to america they werent considered white. Differing race based on skin colour is dumb and they only reason its done cuz its an easy difference to notice between people since the gene show phenotypical difference rather than genes people that dont show any surface level changes.

  • Jan 24, 2020

    race shouldn't be a thing, or matter. alot of people are racist, even if they aren't aware in their subconscious. if you are White, you will never understand

    You know they classify as science back in the 1800's and early 20th century. We fought 2 world wars over that idea.
