Also, to anyone who thinks that race is a thing, please answer me this in one sentence:
What defines a race?
|
A collection of phenotypes that we've categorized and named, roughly analogous to extremely similar breeds of dogs, for example black labs and yellow labs. Sorry, but you can't just pretend away factual information that you don't like, or isn't PC enough.
It's true there is greater genetic diversity within races than between them, but this does not influence the aggregate differences in phenotype/traits between our categorized groups. If there were no difference, you wouldn't have only certain groups affected by certain diseases-- for example, sickle-cell disease is almost unheard of in whites, but appears in people with African ancestry. That's a bona fide genetic trait that, for the most part, appears in one 'race' but not the other.
