Our racist, immigrant hating President just named Hung Cao US Under Secretary of the Navy.

Undersecretary to who, exactly?
Probably a cracker.
If this guy doesn’t get Space Force then there ain’t no justice in the world.

I’ve read that guy’s resume before. And felt so unworthy.
Fucker needs to stop with the mega achievements already, stop hogging it all.
Seriously though, maybe if he joins Space X, he still has a chance to go to Mars…

Is a cracker. (John Phelan) Apparently a businessman with zero military experience, probably appointed to help with 'da money stuff. Sailed (pun?) through confirmation hearings with zero opposition, make your own inferences from that.
I’m not even oriental and I feel like a slacker looking at that.
That dude is operating at a whole different level.
I’m no man of the east myself, but that’s pretty impressive for a disadvantaged race that is inferior to people with features similar to mine.
Yes, we are considered white-adjacent, and will not be eligible for reparations.
All the downside of white-adjacent, with none of the birthright advantages of actually being white.
Oh, the cross I have to bear. I might need to make a social media video to cry about it all.

Something tells me that if the Asians and Whites joined forces we could kill a whole lot of people.
I’m not saying we should, just that we could.
To avoid that grim outcome, we need to adopt Democratic Socialism, according to Maine Democrats.
We need to remember that there is very little evidence that supports the fact we have human races.
The definition of race of course varies, but as a scientific (biological) term its not accurate. Generally the genetical variation is too low that I would use such a word.
People’s differences in behavior is largely based on the culture (not all of it, the discussion between genes and environment is still going strong).
About how Trump is viewed: many do laugh at him, but the country leaders and politicians are generally very polite and don’t share opinions about him in public (wether they are negative or positive).
When it was Trump vs Biden in elections, there was a common joke about two old senile billionaires fighting for power.
I can’t personally say are they senile, but they are old billionaires for sure. Not that these attributes make anybody better or worse as a human. They both are known for having a bad habit of saying random things at times though.

Whats your favorite kind of dog?
Not sure. I like dogs a lot. Maybe a Swedish Vallhund.
Dog races have much greater genetical variability than humans have. They’re also made purposefully. This has also been tried with humans by nazis and facists (eugenics), it really did not work out.
I like border collies. Smart, fast, obedient, all kinds of good. Great mix of features I find desirable in a dog.

They are great. Very smart, like you said.

Interestingly, very similar in function and temperment as a Swedish Vallhund.
So we have favorite dogs.
Why can’t we have favorite people?
We can, but biologically they’re not different races, like Collie or Vallhund are.
I’m not a geneticist, but Id bet there’s more overlap between border collies and vallhund than Irish and Sub-Saharan Africans.
Of course, a real geneticist wouldn’t even entertain the idea. Not if they wanted to remain employed, anyways.
So I asked google:
Seems significant.

They’re significant for humans, but not significant enough that we can speak about races. Wiki quote below:
*In 1956, some scientists proposed that race may be similar to dog breeds within dogs. However, this theory has since been discarded, with one of the main reasons being that purebred dogs have been specifically bred artificially, whereas human races developed organically. *
Furthermore, the genetic variation between purebred dog breeds is far greater than that of human populations. Dog-breed intervariation is roughly 27.5%, whereas human population intervariation is only estimated to be between 5.4% and 15.6%.
Nor systematic enough, genetical variances in ethnic groups can be more drastic than in between ethnic groups. Other quote:
despite the fact that patterns of human variation have been shown to be mostly [clinal] with human genetic code being approximately 99.6% – 99.9% identical between individuals and without clear boundaries between groups.
So the topic has been widely studied and there is no way to define human races. Things like skin colour are based to so few genes that two individuals with same skin colour might have more genetical variation compared to third guy with other skin colour.
So it’s not that scientist are too ”scared” to talk about human races, there is just no evidence supporting the claim. Too little variation and it’s too random.
If we would define human races they would not be what we think they would be (that humans could be divided bu nationality, skin colour etc).
Thats something I’ll withold on, since the trend in science has been for people to screech about racist until someone gets fired, withdraw funding, etc. When the science doesn’t say what they want it to.
I mean, it says right there that those theories have been dismissed. Such is the nature of science, I guess.
Really? Assuming you’re white, if your wife had a black baby would you question her parentage or fidelity?
