How does that help anything? That's not objective at all. There are white Africans (Elon Musk) and Europeans who can pass for northern Africans. You can also find siblings of which one could pass as black and the other as white.
The idea you can easily divide people in different race groups is literally the definition of racism. It doesn't work and we shouldn't be doing it.
- Ferrotin 4y agoThat isn’t the definition of racism at all, and it does work, you can identify race from appearance. Give it a try.
- CorrectHorseBat 4y agoYou can also find siblings of which one could pass as black and the other as white. Sometimes even parents and children. Would they then be of a different race? What are the different human races you can identify from appearance if I may ask?
- Ferrotin 4y agoSo you might identify somebody 90% European as 100%, and your point is what exactly?
- CorrectHorseBat 4y agoMy point is that race is a very loose definition which quickly falls apart in practice, and thus it's just plain stupid to use it to decide whether people should be admitted to college or not.
- Ferrotin 4y agoIn calling it a loose definition, you’re disputing your own premise behind your comment about two siblings being able to “pass” as different races.
