Firstly what is racism exactly? One mans racist is another ones anti racist. Whether something is racist shouldn't determine science. Appeal
-
Agree. Personally I use it to refer to discriminatory practice at the personal or institutional level that is not based on merit.
-
So like having a company that refuses to hire white people would be racist (to my mind)
-
Or me being too lazy to assess job applicants on merit and just hiring the purest nw European only would be racist
-
These behaviours are also counter productive... therefore are not observed much in reality.
-
I recognise other people might look at it differently but that's how I see it
-
I think one can accept demographic differences and, like me, believe the above "racism" to be counter productive to oneself and wrong.
-
I think where it's not practical to look at individuals though discrimination based on grpup makes sense.

First point is total bullshit 85% to 95% of the time forensic anthropologists can accurately determine race. Genetic cluster analysis 99.5%

Yeah it's dumb. Completely. And even sure yeah some people are mixed. So what, it doesn't mean identifiable races don't exist !
