> Critical race theorists reject the idea that "race" has a natural referent. Who knew that heritability and geographic separation don't affect humans. Then these genetic distance maps [1], and certainly this one [2], are just complete nonsense? They must be, since we already know race has no basis in nature, so any evidence showing otherwise is by definition flawed. I believe dismissing it as "subjective" is the usual approach (whereas evidence that emphasizes similarities is, of course, fully objective).
