If you could be any other race ?

I think I heard this one before.

The argument goes that;
Within any of the assumed racial categories that exist, the potential gene variety of all the human races can be found and expressed. Thus race doesn't exist/has no taxonomic meaning.

That is to say a black woman can have a white baby and so on, recent example; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/articl...other.html

Is this what you mean?

Because I think I remember this being debunked as left-wing political bias trying to infect science.
Whilst it's true that the genetic variety of the entire human species is present, and even expressed, in any of the assumed racial categories.
The prevalence of said gene expression is correlated within groups, that we call races.

And differences are not 'skin deep'.

I don't recall saying anything about skin colour.

What I said is that there is only one human race.

We have this thing called modern science, in it there is a consensus that the conceptualisation of race is meaningless. There are no distinct human races, all human beings belong to the same race, end of story.

And I just disagreed and told you why, to which you responded with 'more people agree with me therefore I'm right'.

Feel like addressing what I said ?

Because I am curious.

Because I am curious. There couldn't be that much of a consensus, because what I posted was an almost word for word plagarization of what Dawkins wrote to this assertion when I looked up his response to the claim race doesn't exist. Or that there's only 1.
