So what race is this guy?

He appears to be an Erudite.

if you can successfully classify just one person's race based on physical appearances alone, that means race is at least somewhat based on physical appearance (which is genetically heritable).

does anyone disagree with that statement? "one huge fucking coincidence" indeed.

cant tell the difference between an african american and an australian aboriginal

or japanese vs chinese

or pretty much any asian "race" for that matter

all white people look the same, etc

anything here you disagree with? the wikipedia definition. it seems like the definition matches almost perfectly with mine. just so we can clarify what you are actually arguing about that you disagree with.

considering you could have edited wikipedia just for this discussion, great source.

the term "white race" is incorrect.
