This whole discussion is pointless - categorizing people by skin colour is ridiculous for almost all purposes, and also, considering history, racist.
Also, didn't "black" and "n-word" switch meanings as slur/non-slur less than a century ago (and might switch them again in less than a century) ?
- malfist 3y agoAre you trying to say that people didn't know the n word was offensive in....1996?
- frozenseven 3y ago>categorizing people by skin colour is ridiculous for almost all purposes Sure. But race is most often about genetic (or ethno-linguistic) heritage, not skin color. A person from Japan might have the same skin color as someone from Greece.
- goatlover 3y agoSub-saharan Africans have greater genetic diversity than other continental populations. Race is just not an accurate categorization.
- helboi4 3y agoYup. Thanks for talking sense. There are tons of ethnicities in Africa. Which one exactly is the genetically stupid one?
- frozenseven 3y ago>There are tons of ethnicities in Africa. Only three large racial (genetic) groups in Sub-Saharan Africa. >Which one exactly is the genetically stupid one? You're trying to turn this into a normative claim, which it is not. And you started with the assumption that people are just saying this stuff for no reason at all.
