[quote=@Dynamo Frokane] 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. [/quote] "xddd look 200 years ago there was this one thing completely different from what you are saying but heh I think it's similar enough so you're wrong xd" I have suspended my emotions, you clearly haven't since once again you rely on "muh exceptions." I'm not relying on nineteenth century things, even if you are relying on them - once again emotionally by showing old propaganda pieces - to try to dissuade me. Yes, there is a lot of genetic diversity in Africa. That is why different African groups have radically different traits and abilities. Melanesians have via mutations gained blond hair, whilst sea gypsies - another African group - have developed near perfect underwater vision; this however only goes to prove my point. There is however more than enough variation to account for what is grouped as a race however. Yes, because of some admixture in places like North Africa, the Mediterranean, the Caucasus, etc. the lines are slightly blurred but that doesn't change anything.' Your last paragraph is also wrong because once again, then racial specific appearances and disease would not have occurred. But I guess I'll go tell people that their red hair is a lie perpetrated by raycis ku klux klan members.
