Yeah, so if a South-Asian orphan is adopted into a Swedish family, he magically ceases to be of whatever race were his parents and becomes white. That's... not how the concept of human race works.
- zepto 5y agoAccording to many proponents of CRT or wokeness, absolutely he becomes white. People from typically non-white ethnicities are routinely accused of being white if they adopt cultural traits associated with white people. And it’s entirely possible that if he was adopted at a young enough age, whatever this AI is detecting would read him as white too, assuming his habits and diet affected his development, as they might. Indeed that would be consistent with your claim that there is nothing genetic about race.
- tpm 5y agoMy claim is that race is not a meaningful concept.
- zepto 5y agoDo you think that racism is real?
- tpm 5y agoYes, racism is sadly very real, it is based on perceived ingroup/outgroup differences and as such is only one of such ideologies (I come from a territory where people used to kill each other if they belonged to different branches of christianity, or later if they belonged to different nationality). They are all based on false beliefs and propagated by people who are trying to profit from hate and conflict.
