Do you even know how science works? Do you also find all science that measures racial components in things to be equally invalid?

There's no scientific basis for the idea of "race" — it's a cultural construct. Therefore there can't be scientific evidence of racial components to something like IQ. Good luck with your crypto currency project twitter.com/ameensol/statu…

In a similar fashion, Gender is a social construct, so there can't be any evidence of height differences between men & women.

I’ll actually have to disagree here. I do agree that the American conception of “race” is a concept set forth by a ruling class to oppress its subjects. It just encapsulates too many variables to be scientifically real. It’s much easier if you talk about it’s components..

I think this tweet could have been made more clear, but my guess at what he means is that "race" as a concept kind of goes away when you actually understand it. Like, the lines society draws between races, who is lumped together and who is split up is rather arbitrary.

And

have a look at the definition and Modern Scholarship sections of this and have a chat, I'm taking neither part in this : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(hum

he's got a valid point. Analyse two Afro-American men's genome and you'll find as much differences as with a white man.

There are no human races, there's not enough genetic differences between black and white people, you'll find more. So yes talking about black and white as different races, is biologically speaking wrong

Replying to

He's not wrong though, since there no substantial genetic differences between black and whit people, biologically speaking races don't exist, therefore any differences found are cultural, not racial
