The category of race in the US means 'too dark to pass for smart' according to Joe Biden anyway. That it used to include Italians not too long ago should tell you all you need to know about its scientific basis.
Now if you want to talk about the effects of haplogroup R-M343 on sickle cell anemia by all means. The point is that genes do not map onto skin color and gender does not map onto fMRI scans.

- konjin 6y agoRace is an arbitrary grouping no more meaningful than organizing people by earlobe shape. Gender is meaningless. Sex is biological, simple and since the invention of contraception unimportant. Everything else is a taxonomy for people who want original sin but don't want to call themselves Christian.
