What is this?

The top right is the only REAL person -- the others are just clones with some coloring and a little bit of alteration.

Why do they have to lie like this to make their failed point seem true?

Discuss - but I don't really give two shits about replying.

Race doesn't exist. It's a social construct, but your unwillingness to respond is probably not unreasonable, seeing as how you can't defend your case either way.

People think I'm white, I'm of mixed origin.

Race does exist, and it's a valid scientific construct.
You're just a nihilist.

Who gives two shits of others think you're White?
What does that mean?


I can't defend my case? How?

Seeing as how you said you wouldn't respond, then you just did, it just goes to show you that you have some lame agenda you're trying to push.

Science doesn't support your claims so it's ironic you think it's pseudo-science.

I'm a nihilist? wth?

What, you're basing this on the image shown, where I explained it's dishonesty, or you're that delusional?

What science? Show me.

You can try a dictionary if you must.

I'm well educated enough to know this is true, and I presented an anecdotal example. I'm half asian and half white, and appear whole white to most. There is no scientific basis for the concept of race.

And keep the discussion to this topic, no PMs necessary, thanks.

I can tell the difference between a Negro and White.

Race thus exists.

I saw this undeniable proof that race exists 100% but I'm not going to give any more information on it.

Believe me or you have an evil agenda.

That's not a scientific definition that you can spot a black person from an asian.

The reality of the matter is, science doesn't acknowledge race, at all. Race is only accepted within some given social construct and only because it's culturally relevant.

The irish weren't even considered 'white' to most people that were accepted as 'white'. This just goes to show you the dynamic nature of social constructs and definitions.

It's pseudo-science to say race exists and point at some lame charts and things.

The fact that people can't differentiate between you and a White woman doesn't make race scientifically invalid - it just makes you unique or them stupid.

The reality of the matter is, science acknowledge race. Race is  accepted genetically and only because it's scientifically relevant.

The irish weren't even considered 'White' to most people that were accepted as 'White,' even though they were called "White Niggers" and genetic evidence has shown they are White. It just shows when you socially define race, you contradict science.

It's psuedo-science to say race doesn't exist and point at some imaginary studies and pretend you have "Proof" when you have thin air.

I know because Scientific american is into "pseudoscience". So are 90% of scientists.  

But those who believe in the nordish race and measuring ppl's nose to categorie them by race are great scientists of course lol


The reality of the matter is, science acknowledge race.
But they also recognize that race is not the kind of monolithic categorization you make it to be. They know that ppl can be grouped differently using different methods.

The fact is Sicentific American doesn't say that race doesn't exist but that its not a clear cut set in stone deal.
