It's largely kept from the public, but about half of biological anthropologists support race as a concept. Probably because a major part of their work involves looking at the biological differences between human groups. Most of the rest take a clinal variation stance.

The MMM usually manages to keep a lid on this becoming obvious with a twofold strategy. Only allowing those who tow the line to appear in the media, and by presenting those who don't as an uncommon outlier instead of the norm.

Same as the IQ and race argument. Most psychologists who study this believe the difference is at least partially down to genes, but the egalitarians are always pushed as the prevalent opinion.

It's virtually impossible to come to the "all environment" conclusion by looking at the science, its a political POV that comes out of social Marxism.

When I was studying both these subjects it became very obvious that the scientists were treading very carefully to avoid setting off the humanities departments One wrong word and all hell would break lose. We now have the Marxists who run these departments dictating policy on campus as whole.

They should have been told to fuck off back in 2000. But we allowed the long march to continue. Look where it got us.

What's a clinal variation stance?

No races as discrete units, but a slow fade from one group to another in traits.

Think about how skin colour varies gradually as you go on a north south axis. That's a clinal variation.

It's an equally valid POV.

I don't know why people waste energy with this shit, only people who don't think race is real are either retarded or propagandists, there's no point at all arguing with these people.

I disagree. Race deniers are successful in creating doubt about the biological reality of race. Dealing with this should be part of our strategy.

For example, right now, there's enough doubt created about race as a biological construct that in many places, you can say it and have it stand as true. This misleads the public.

Science goes where the wind blows, mate. You don't see chinese scientists doing stupid shit.

I don't like counter-signaling race realism stuff because it has some value, but so many people get so autistic about it.

Like yeah, no shit Columbus, races are different, it's not such an insightful and unique observation when the biggest Grugs out there just see that race is real.

Hence I wrote that you have to be really dumb to get yourself thinking that race isn't real when you can just see it.

Even when I was a total bernie bro wokie in my early 20s, the reality of race was very real. However my opinion on it was a typical liberal “white mans burden” idea that it’s better off the vast majority of people simply don’t acknowledge it and it’s left to sober minded scientists and academics to study so that humanity can eventually evolve beyond these differences.

However the brainwashing is very strong in today’s cultural climate. Even noticing obvious racial differences such as cranial capacity and saying something out loud about it can get you “cancelled”. Look at the neurotic tendencies exhibited in the average leftist. These issues probably stem from the cognitive dissonance that their asinine world views project upon themselves.

The genomics revolution will do that for us.
