whereas you want the social construct of race to be treated as though it were a science,

Genetics is real. It is science. Biology is science. Humans are the product of genes, hence the "social construct" of observable "races" is genetic.

This is obvious to everyone whose goal isn't to mislead.

and people treated as though they're breeds of dogs.

Races ("breeds") of dogs is an accurate analogy to races of humans. Your use of the word "treated" in that sentence is subtly attempting to falsely portray what I said as the equivalent of implying that my intent is to "treat humans as though they're dogs" in general, which is not the case.

The concept is untenable, on several levels.

No it isn't. Humans are animals. If you don't understand that and can't comprehend the fact that biology is scientifically measurable (often science lagging behind in what it's able to measure physically), then you're engaging in political deception.

Your propaganda tactics fail.

Your still avoiding the facts regarding the science of genetics and assessments of ethnicity. (Scientists could never agree on this kind of data, because everyone is somewhat mixed.) Read the rest of the thread and stop this nonsense.

    It's apparent that you don't want to or are unable to understand the points about science and ethnicity (links provided in the thread). Please stop repeating the same comments thaat do not address what's at issue.

      Again - you've avoided the issue.

        You're resorting to reductio ad absurdum by redirecting to a false syllogism that - because humans are animals, they can be treated as breeds of humans. That's not only not scientific, it's false. Read the thread and the OP's question: Can Racism be Based on Science? Also read this: Human races are not like dog breeds: refuting a racist analogy. Leave me alone.
