I understand your comment as suggesting that body models are races, but I take a different view.
Maybe, other things being equal, some heritable traits are good. People possessing them might have superior body models. However, I think racism needs two more beliefs:
1) that race objectively exists
2) that race correlates with superior/inferior body models
- akomtu 5y agoRace as the body type exists in the same sense car models exist. Some could argue that SUVs are superior to sport cars. Whether race exists objectively is another question. Per some schools of buddhism, material things don't exist objectively because they lack their own substance.
- dqpb 5y ago> Race as the body type exists in the same sense car models exist Really? How many body types are there?
- akomtu 5y agoMany. Asians, Africans and Europeans are three notable subtypes. But again, if this makes you feel agitated, that's because of the belief that body is a permanent extension of the human's true self. Once this "scientific" idea is analysed and rejected, the clouds of emotions will clear.
