Is there any situation for you where race and genetics can assist in explaining a behavior?

Perhaps at a minor level, but the nature/nurture argument normally results in overwhelming evidence that nurture (behaviour) is the primary influence on one's activities, particularly in studies that appropriately address a proper sample of people

No. Intelligence is 0.8 heritable in western countries and virtually all psychological traits are highly heritable. This is the "iron law" of heritability

Ah. So your nurture position is based on science not religion or ideology? So you're willing to admit that this may be disproved?

No - I am referring to research that indicates that behaviour is more informative of one's actions and interests than their ancestry

No

Got it. So it's religion or ideology.
