I'm telling you that race has nothing to do with genetics that it has been used for millennia to mean people of different origins, and that its meaning was mythical we now understand why and that consequently it has no meaning in the modern context.
Quote:I am saying the expression is correlated, a black woman can have a white baby. Million to one shot, but it can happen.So what? Race isn't determined by skin colour. Nor is it determined by hair colour, or by any other single characteristic.
A white woman ifs far more likely to have a white baby.
Quote:I don't care that you're wrong, I truly don't.I'm not wrong. The conceptualisation of there being different human races is wrong. I've proved it. You have no evidence, you can't even tell me how many human races you think there are (and if you're right that should be a really easy question to answer). You can't defend your argument with any evidence. You believe in outdated ancient mythological nonsense.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances.
