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 You believe in outdated ancient mythological nonsense.
You going to claim there is only one species in the world next. Walphin, encase you were wondering.
I have repeatedly said that it is entirely possible and easy to discern a persons ancestry from these 'racial' attributes you say have no meaning.
That is to say you would be able to tell what part of African many Africans came from or what part of Asia/Europe, there would be a correlation about how they look and where they come from.
Indeed a performable test is there.
Furthermore that these racial attributes are indicative of other likely gene expressions.
The argument that race has no taxonomic meaning in the scientific terminology is false on this alone.
You haven't proved anything.
Trust me, your wrong.
