I'm just going to abandon the term race because nothing constructive is going to come from it. It is not contentious that there are various physiological developments among groups of humans.

What term are you going to use instead? Subspecies? Breed?

  I don't know. My hunch is that these suggestions, though, will be received poorly.

    So your solution to people arguing in bad faith is to be so wordy that they give up and move onto more easily mischaracterized targets?

> various physiological developments among groups This is a very contrived way to say that people share characteristics with other people. The real question is why people don't say that I belong to the six-foot tall bad-knees race.

  Really? It's very contrived? I'm not here to tell you what to do. Use race then. I offered up why I think this article is only generating interest is because race is a loaded word, and if it weren't used, it'd be passed over. > The real question is why people don't say that I belong to the six-foot tall bad-knees race This is an article about ML accurately predicting self-identified race. This is not even on the spectrum of real questions.
