[quote=@Vilageidiotx] This thing? [img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fa/Scientific_racism_irish.jpg[/img] [/quote] Yes that thing. [@Andreyich]This is why 19th century biology doesn't get taken seriously in any respected scientific circle, its clear that the 'science' had a clear political bias, this is where prejudice becomes problematic because its distorting the facts. You have to attempt to suspend your emotions to look at things objectively. Anti-Irish sentiment wasnt the only example of this, there were military documents based on the same science during WW2 that said that Negroes were genetically too cowardly to fly planes, and guess what, the tuskeegee airmen came along and proved that to be a bunch of political pseudo-scientific racist horseshit. There is more genetic diversity in Africa then there is outside of it, this is a FACT. There is no racial 'gene' or collection of genes to accurately account for what we have socially grouped as race, that is a FACT. Science does not account for Race in any meaningful way, there can be no 'facts' about race because race isn't a fact, its an artificial social construct, a side effect of tribalism.
