What are your arguments against "race is a social construct because the category of race does not correspond to biologically meaningful groups/entities" and "skin color differentiation is real but that doesn't mean that people with different skin colors are different races"?

I think you're making too many assumptions. I'm 1) a woman, 2) not sure where you got salos/blork3d from. I've only posted in this sub for about 3 times now and it's only been about race because I still get confused on the matter when everywhere I go I see "race is a social construct", "race means nothing", etc, etc.

"race is a social construct", "race means nothing"

They're lying or misrepresenting the data. Race is real. Even liberal geneticists know that the social constructionist narrative - which is mostly backed by social scientists and not geneticists by the way - is going to collapse: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/23/opinion/sunday/genetics-race.html

The article is interesting to me. It's been difficult to find unbiased articles like this, written by actual scientists, so I appreciate you sharing it with me!

That article is far from unbiased. Even Reich has to put in a million little qualifications and disclaimers to his statements in order to cover his ass. It's definitely a step in the right direction though.

David Reich is a jew and he is not unbiased. For obvious reasons.

The entire article is about how jews can't ignore the scientific results about race much longer because otherwise the battlefield is entirely granted to us. Ironically, you turned to us, as the article warned about would happen, if the jewish mainstream kept ignoring the genetic science, which they've done.
Of course they are trying really hard to use their word salats to "refute" reality and this subject is actually what redpilled me to their dishonest methods.

2) not sure where you got salos/blork3d from.

A handful of people here always accuse people like you of being a salos/blork3d alt. I think you might be genuine so I'll explain. This comes from the old Reddit community. Salos is a guy who makes various republican shilling accounts on saidit. From the moderation log he has been banned on saidit numerous times.

About 4 years ago blork3d was banned on the old Reddit community, which was my old account, and the moderators here have been aware of this fact for over 9 months now since I've come to the saidit community, and they have no problem with me debating here now. People also confuse salos for being blork3d because shamefully, I had also made new alts to bypass the ban years ago on the Reddit community.

Thank you for your explanation! I didn't know of this history, so I was really confused when someone came out of nowhere to accuse me of being "salos/blork3d". At least now I'm not confused!

Here's a thought experiment I find useful and helpful for anyone who wants to get started on thinking about race. Ask yourself a simple question. Why wouldn't evolution have the same impact on human mammals as it has on all other species in existence. Within all animals we see sub-speciation and divergent evolution -- i.e. the development of 'races' -- in populations that share common ancestry but have been separated and exposed to different environmental pressures, founder effects etc. So the claim that this WOULD NOT occur in humanity is unusual and quite extraordinary given that you would expect in any standard theory of evolution for humans to be impacted the same way all other animals have been.

That's the first question to ask yourself. If humans are not racially divided then you need an entirely new theory of evolution to explain that and someone needs to tell you why otherwise they're just liars or dogmatic egalitarians.

How did u find this sub? Why did you go straight to the debatealtrightsub? No other posts from you on saidit on a recent account. Same content, same questions, same style as blork3d, who has made literally dozens of names and does the same posts.

Honestly I dont even care what someone considers race to be. Being white is a thing, being black is a thing. I know this because the media never shuts the fuck up about it for 2 seconds while inciting black hatred of whites and white guilt 24/7. Thats all that matters. Call it a social construct, biological reality, call it a banana, I dont care. Its a daily reality now. We tried for a colorblind society and the Jews shoved it back in our faces due to their never ending divide and conquer bullshit. Race matters if for no other reason than the Jewish media mafia that lords over us says it matters, BUT since they wont shut up about it we might as tell the truth about what it is, because they sure as hell wont.

I found this sub because I posted a question about race vs sex in GCdebatesQT. Someone told me this place is more appropriate: https://saidit.net/s/GCdebatesQT/comments/7md5/gc_if_race_and_ethnicity_are_social_constructs/snuz

Just because my writing style happens to be similar to someone else, doesn't mean I am them.

Ok fair enough. Just realized your account isnt brand new like the last 20 names that asked basically the same question.

[–]CuteAsDuck 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It's alright. People ask similar questions sometimes. It's fair you were cautious, and I thought you deserve to know how I ended up here in the first place.
