@random_eddie @hythloday The entire framework of "genetic racial differences" is EXPLICITLY racist (and unscientific), just for starters.
@hythloday because what I quoted implied that any use of the "framework" of racial genetic differences was racist...

@HbdNrx it's a pointer to a knot of thought that is inevitably racist when unpacked in my experience. -
@hythloday ok, so we need to avoid talking about it to avoid racism. Got it. -
@HbdNrx you don't have to avoid talking about it. You just have to do better than regurgitate phrenology. -
@hythloday so the framework is not inherently racist -
@HbdNrx I think probably in the absence of a framework of a vertical mapping of genetics to outcomes, it's racist. -
@HbdNrx do you understand what I mean by that? -
@hythloday We could go through evidence and statistics all day, and you wouldn't be satisfied by any "vertical mapping" -
@HbdNrx Because none exists? No-one can point at a gene and say "that's responsible for 3 points of IQ". - 3 more replies

@HbdNrx I think it's racist in the same way that the word "thug" is racist (to someone in the US, different in the UK).Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
