To add a bit more weight it’s worth reading the intro to race on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization)
- umanwizard 6y agoI’m aware that race is not a strictly defined category, and that racial classification is arbitrary to a large extent. However, this doesn’t answer my question.
- crispyporkbites 6y agoIt demonstrates the logical fallacy - if it's an arbitrary classification, as you say, how can those blood test groupings be accurate? They can, at best, be arbitrary
- umanwizard 6y ago“Arbitrary” doesn’t mean “uniformly random”. Even though the lines are blurred, there is still a strong correlation between being considered part of a particular racial classification in the US and having certain genes.
