Is this science or racism?

This is science fam.
This is just the next step of DNA a***ysis.
Previously they had to have a suspect to match the DNA with now they can identify what kind of suspect they should be looking for.
Get that waste yute off the street asap.
Next they finna collect DNA at birth for future crimes 😂

Science

How the f*** you even think this is racism?

This is so unserious lmao

Ok, we're looking for a black guy... Anything else?

White people love inventing new ways of discrimination

this is not legitimate science

It’s pseudoscience, at best.

You can’t predict someone’s appearance with just DNA evidence.

People can dye their hair or shave it off, grow a beard, eat well or poorly, lose or gain weight, become a d*** addict, get disfigured in an accident, get too much sun, smoke, lighten or darken their skin, have plastic surgery, change gender, and do many other things that can affect their appearance but which have zero tie to their facial DNA.

Until the technology is more developed, DNA phenotyping at this stage is barely useful and does more harm than good.

wouldn't say its racist but its a dangerous precedent because there's a wide variety of ppl who look like that

they're essentially just drawing based on genes and imagination

doesn't make much sense, I don't think this will help catch any criminals

So they've deduced that its a black guy

This is literally only showing potential eye, skin, and hair color which are all able to be predicted by DNA

This is a gift to cops to racially profile

Foh

this is absolutely gonna be used to racially profile

• scientists in the 1800 measuring skulls

DNA really doesn't provide much to go off of if there is no match to a sample in a criminal database.

All this does is maybe tell you their skin color, maybe their hair color, and maybe their eye color. Like others have said, these could all be different based on choices they've made or impacted by the environment.

And they're just assuming his age and BMI?? Wtf? Could be fat old dude

So not much was learned about his appearance and all that was really figured out here was his probable genetic ancestry - which barely helpful, especially to any Canadian police officer who cannot tell types of Africans apart at all

Also... did the victim of the sexual assault not already tell them that it was a black dude?

idk much about this subject because i’m not a scientist but i would think DNA could develop some kind of image of a person

Absolutely not

Yeah because trying to determine intelligence by race is in anyway similar to knowing a suspect has African or European DNA

acting like the cops aren’t just gonna use that info to just arrest the next black person they see

if not an image at least a list of some features as far as s***and skin color? like i said idk anything about DNA but i would think it would contain at least that info

which of course isn’t helpful in catching a specific criminal, but if it’s solid technology, it will at least narrow it down a tiny bit i guess

Different issue tho

This technology and the science is not inherently racist

we’re talking about the use of this science within the context of cops using it so it’s with the frameworks
