Race as a scientific concept does not exist.  The races do not exist.  We all share the same genotype, we all share the same genetic pool.  Racism concentrates on the minor, external differences which have no basis in Genetics.  Skin colour is merely the amount of melanin carried in a person's skin cells.  It is like suggesting that Blondes are dumber than Brunettes.  Soren, you really need some basis to your Racism.  There is no difference Genetically between a black man or a white man.  It is why we can all interbreed.   Simply hating people because they have darker or lighter skin is pointless but well, what we come to expect from you?  Your views are based purely on how much mud you can shovel on people because they are different to your perceived views on how people should be.   Tsk, tsk. 

Oh, dearie, dearie, me.  "Race" as you use the word, Soren is a social construct.  It has no basis in Genetics, the science that describes us as Human Beings.  There is only one race, the Human one.  We are all members, no matter what the colour of skin, the shape of our eyes, the frizziness of our hair, the thickness of our lips, the sizes of our noses of the same species, Homo Sapien Sapiens.  We can all interbreed, we all draw upon the same genetic pool to do so.  You are as usual, barking up the wrong tree, Soren.

Yep debating yourself into imbecility.

The breeding of all different types of animal & birds ..... is purely based on genetics.

All breeds of domestic Pigeons all come from the one bird - The Rock Dove - Columba Livia - to form Columba livia domestica.

There are 350 different breeds - that come in different sizes, shapes, feather formation & colours.

Like all humans(races) they interbreed easily ..... but they are all different ... if inbred & let go wild they revert to the wild type in a few generations.

As do breeders of pigeons, do cattle breeders, dog breeders etc etc ..... selective breeding for type 7 characteristics is all about genetics.

The visual external physical differences of human races is genetic .... it's not merely a case of different levels of melanin in the skin .....

it's not just black & white 

there are other differences otherwise except for skin colour we would all look the same.

and interracial breeding results in adoption of those physical differences of the parents being shared by the offspring.

You think you know everything about everything but you know SFA other than your woke theories from academic wankers.

The same stupid theory is applied in the nonsense that you can't define human gender as male & female. 

'Race' is more than a social construct that can be demolished and rebuilt along personal lines - it has been used for centuries to hugely different ethnic groups... who can deny that some are white and some sallow, who can deny that Asians have epicanthic folds, who can deny that there are vast differences between each culture predominated by each type?

Separate but equal, innit?  I have great respect for Asian cultures - many of them are founded millennia ago and have many good things.. not perfect but then who is.... I'm happy with certain African cultures that rely on semi-settlement and hunting and some agriculture etc (like our Abos) ... and I have vast respect for the ability of Eskimoes to survive in an incredible climate etc or Tibetans to get along fine in those mountains... or Borneo tribespeople and the way they get along in their environment.....

That doesn't mean that, in saying all cultures are not equal in industrial development etc, I am saying the people IN those cultures are not equal... each has its merits, and in communicating with Chinese people, I am as concerned as they are about the possibility of war.... I'd rather live in harmony with them... and some of them are fine people, just not all...

Jeez - got a letter from a Chinese lady the other day, who said she'd lived here for some years and many of us didn't like Chinese, but I was different and very nice to her....

Get your minds right, Lukes....  SinnFein and let the other cultures go their own way as they let you go your own way.... just some of them there and not here (and I don't mean Chinese PEOPLE - the good ones)...

The Genome of an animal species determines what it can breed with.  Humanity has one Genome, essentially a Genetic pool which determines that it can only breed with members of that Genome.  We cannot interbreed with Chimps or Orangutans or dogs or cats or cockroaches.  We can interbreed with Black people or Brown people or Yellow people, etc.  We all share the same Genome.    People vary in how they look because of many environmental factors.  Black people evolved in the Tropics where they do not need to absorb as much Vitamin D.  White people evolved in the Arctic where they do need to absorb more sunlight.

The way people react to one another is because of social conditioning.  Social conditioning creates Racism.  People reacting to the various "Races" on the basis of their skin colouring/shape of their epicanthic folds above their eyes/shape of their nose/thickness of their lips/frizziness of their hair/etc. is all purely social conditioning.  For all you know, Gnads, I could be Black.  I could also be Yellow, or brown or just plain old White.  Peter Ustinov recounted in his autobiography his first trip to the US where he was asked to fill out an Immigration Form.  On it, it asked what colour he was.  He wrote down, "Pink".  Apparently it didn't amuse the officials.  As far as he knew, he was indeed, "pink".  If I told you that was a six foot high, 16 stone, Black Australian, what would your reaction be, I wonder?

Time to grow up and actually realise that Genetics as a science has destroyed Racism forever.  We are all one race, the Human one.  Just because you're white (and I am admit making an assumption there, Gnads) doesn't make you better than a Black or Brown or Yellow or a Purple person.

Genetics is a social construct, science itself is a social construct.

You ARE talking yourself into utter imbecility, Bwian.

Is it?  All Racism comes down to skin colour or other physical characteristics, Gnads.  It is what you protest about most often when you end up discussing Indigenous Australians.  Genetics covers a wide range of subjects but show me where there is a single Gene that describes a person's "race".  Off you trot.  Lets see if you can do any actual research, shall we?

You cannot liken animal "breeds" to humanity, Hammer.  It is insulting and of course, Genetics destroys your attempt.  Animals of different "breeds" can still interbreed, all being one Genome.
