Define race

Prove it exists

Link to at least 3 studies that have been published since 2006 that agree that race exists by your definition

Explain as if you were talking to an illiterate 5 year old what race is without referring to skin colour or skull shapes

Tell me why government should stop important people from all over the world

Are you sure all orcs do bad things? Maybe they're just mad because you keep killing their family. And are you sure they're even orcs? Maybe they're just really ugly!

Prove it doesn't.

Writings of philosophers and moronic "academics" is not evidence.

>Prove it doesn't.

Burden of evidence lies on those who make the claim, as it is impossible to prove a negative outside of pure mathematics.

Race is a social construct; it exsits because there are a lot of references to it, books about it, people who believe in it, and policies oriented around it.

Not that it is invaluable; I believe race is an incredibly important social construct that makes categorization of different groups of mostly similar people much easier, and that a race's independence and self-determination should be valued. But it doesn't objectively "exist".

You sound awfully orcish. remove greenskin.


 No.235

This just baffles me. How could someone think that race does not exist? There are obviously groups of people with different physical features that tend to share ancestors, a particular area of origin and also often have the same or similar culture. Of course the attributes and culture surrounding the physical features are socially constructed but this is irrelevant. Most of our lives are based around social constructs but we shouldn't just forget everything and go back to communicating via guttural sounds because "hurr durr the english language is just a social construct".

Social constructs come into existence through being used and are cemented as time passes.

Race exists as long as these constructs exist in the minds of people. And unless someone lobotomizes the entire population races will continue to exist as constructs based on objectively existing physical similarities and differences between people.
