Biology of Race

Yes I derailed this thread - sorry.

But I’m out of here for today… Free Texas Ranger tickets for tonight’s game, these seats

I don’t have pale skin. I’m ethnically Korean. Nice diversion though.

Have you ever even met an adopted kid? Any kids that have spent time in foster care are there for a really compelling reason. Either their parents died, or more likely their parents were abusive and neglectful.

Kids that end up in foster care don’t spend their formative years being tucked in and read stories and hugged. Many of them have born witness to some really heinous things (drug use, rape, broken families).

My parents tried to foster kids after I was basically self sufficient in high school. The boys under the age of 10 were all on antipsychotic drugs to even them out and going to therapy. The one kid my parents couldn’t help ended up stabbing a kid in the chest at 11yo at a group home later.

I’d be willing to bet money that a black baby adopted at birth and raised by a tiger mom (violin at 3) would have no trouble getting into any school in the world. It’s all in how you’re raised.

But keep believing in you pale superiority. Even if it were true. You did nothing to earn it. You can’t take any credit for European genius (DaVinci) or world domination (Alexander) simply because you have white skin.

This is a scientific thread.

Shove your personal anecdotes up your ass

Say what??!!

Say what??!!

This is very “scientific” discussion:

@therajraj

Is it suffice to say people who adhere to the teachings of Islam want to do us harm?

It literally says to kill non believers

@ActivitiesGuy

The Bible also literally says to kill non-believers:

“If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. 9 You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.”

@therajraj

I’ll let Christian posters to chime in this has been discussed before

What? That’s like saying blacks are mutts, which makes no sense because a fully black man is black, and a fully European man is European, or white, or Aryan, or whatever term one prefers for whites. I really like your posts. This one of course is benign, but makes no sense to me.

Later on I mentioned it was derailed and tried to get it back on track

[therajraj]

Do you guys have similar objections when it comes to breeds of dogs?

[EyeDentist]

@BrickHead

a fully black man is black, and a fully European man is European

What does it mean to be “fully black” or “fully European”?

[Basement_Gainz]

The point I was trying to make is that there’s no such thing as a European race. The OP posted a graph holding up European achievement since 1400 as proof that Europeans are a superior race. Look at a man from southern Italy, Sweden and Hungary and tell me they are the same race.

There are genes for skin melanin content, facial structure, height, diseases etc… But there are no genes for “race”.

Race is a bucket system humans invented because we are tribal by nature. It serves us well sometimes. It makes multicultural societies hard though.

[BrickHead]

Is this a trick question? A fully black person is someone with black ancestry and none other and a fully white/European person is a person with white/European ancestry and none other.

Ya know, I do generally like you, but you’ve said some disingenuous things to me before as well, including my near fifteen years of real life socioeconomic and demographic observations. You said I was biased, and in saying this you referred to “observation bias” as if my real life experiences have anything to do with academic studies.

I know you are a troll. You are quite frankly good at it. But in the name of science: just one study about abused children who get adopted and recover:

[BrickHead]

There is a white race, which is separated into three main sub-races: Mediterranean, Nordic, and Baltic. Most Italians are Mediterranean and most Swedes are Nordic. They are still of the white race and are infinitely more closely related than either is to a black or Asian.

Nature “invented” races and race is far more than skin color.

Edit: @Basement_Gainz I made a mistake. I meant Mediterranean, Alpine, and Nordic.

[Basement_Gainz]

Ok. Show me the one gene that every “Baltic European” has.

Can I test for Baltic European?

They didn’t control for race.

I would like to see if they were able to close black white iq gap through parenting

Okay, so I finally go the reports. There are 65 in total. I haven’t had a chance to go through them all; except for briefly, but I’ll go ahead and post some stuff up anyone. All in all, I have to say the carrier status reports are probably the only thing that’s really of value. The rest of the information is neat, but not eye-opening. Form your own judgements, though. Here is the format: [image] I’m not going to post everything (don’t worry), but I’ll post some sample reports. I thought the…

The 3 people who understand the biological concept of race in this thread - a jew, an Indian and a Korean.

The ones who don’t - all Europeans

Heh

I made a mistake as you can see in my post above. The three main sub-races are Alpine, Mediterranean, and Nordic.
