Come Oh Ye Rational Thinkers...and explain race theory to me

[Dystopia]

Human races exist... people, get over it.
And, statistically speaking, some races excel on some tasks, while others excel on other tasks... may be a cultural thing, though, but the correlation is there.

I'd say physically blacks and whites are better at some some sports but apart from that I don't see any reason why it's not cultural. Blacks score lower on IQ tests but blacks are, all over the world, overwhelmingly poor, less educated and more religious.

That said, I have no problem if you apply a statistically relevant stereotype, like... blacks have longer penises than any other race.
But the wrong kind of stereotype grinds gears.... like... native americans are dumber than asians.

The difference isn't that big as people put it

Apart from that... anything is game.
Did you know that, in portuguese, the polite word to describe a black person is "negro" (same word as in english, but the 'e' reads a bit like eh and all 'o's at the end of words sound like a curt 'u')? And if you use the translation of "black" (preto), you get the non-politically correct version!
These are just two words that describe the same color we use when painting... and with paint, no one cares if you use preto or negro.
We have another color that also gets two words to describe it, red: encarnado, vermelho.... yeah, none of them are even remotely similar to the spanish rojo, or the french rouje. Although the portuguese "roxo" (reads like rho-chu) is purple... Kinda makes you wonder that we went a bit sideways when we decided to name colors, compared with the rest of Europe.

I never use the word negro, I figured blacks are offended if I use it, they prefer preto.



OP

My vision on race is the following:

Biologically, there are minor differences but they are not enough to justify lumping humans into categories. There is no such thing as a 100% pure bloodline

Culturally and socially YES - Race exists and it's still a thing. With race comes culture, religion, habits, language, customs. For minorities race can be a very important uniting characteristic of their people. Ending racism isn't achieved by simply not talking about - Quite the opposite, we have to talk about it and discuss race.

Saying race doesn't exist dismisses terrible experiences everyone might have suffered because of skin colour. I'm going to give an easy example - Many people say "Jew" isn't a race/ethnicity, and that's basically ignoring the amounts of anti-semitism that still exists (In Europe it's more acceptable than "Islamophobia") - Not to mention the majority of anti-semitism isn't religiously driven, it's racially and economically based. So yeah, you may think Jew isn't a race but there are two groups who target Jews for race - Muslims and the far right
