2021-03-15 at 8:36 PM UTCActually the point of this thread is that simply stating the indisputable fact that race is a social construct causes massive anal pain amongst people who know nothing about the subject but have built half their personality around their poorly informed view.
And I find that entertaining.
Same as the fact that Jews are white. -

they just wonder which one of you was the giver and which one was the taker.We stopped and played a game of pool one time (they had all these pool tables on the sidewalk all over the city, for some reason) and we drew such a crowd the police had to come and direct traffic.
now your going over into the realm of phantasy. there were no traffics in china in the 90s. everybody was either walking or bycicling. -

Ha! That would be American cops wondering that. Or what kind of illegal drugs were being exchanged.

Everybody was bicycling, but there were lots of packed buses and tons of these fume-spewing beat-up taxi-vans called mi dian or something like that and all the Party leaders had private cars, so there was traffic. All the men smoked on all the mi dian including the driver then, one day about a year after I had arrived, there was an article in the China Daily that said to quit smoking cigarettes as it was bad for the health care system and to my great surprise the next time I got on a mi dian, no one smoked and no one ever did again that I saw. I thought to myself, wow. Now there's a difference. The whole country quit smoking in one day. (people -- men-- still smoked privately)
One night, I was on a mi dian with a couple of my students headed back to the university and the van halfway there just ran out of gas. The driver doesn't say a word, just grabs a gas can and disappears into the darkness. Everybody sits there for a long time, the men smoking in silence. Finally, the driver returns and gets in the van, cigarette dangling from his lips. He steps behind the driver seat and told the people there to move, raises up the top of the bench, unscrews the gas cap, which was literally inside the van, and, cigarette still dangling from his lips, begins to pour the gas into the tank. So I expressed surprise to one of my students who turned and translated it to the driver who made a dismissive grunt, took the cigarette out of his lips and stuck the lit end inside the tank. I still don't know what to make of that. Is their gas less combustible? Are we hyper paranoid? -

2021-03-16 at 1:47 PM UTCI believe in Race.
I believe in I am a White man. Much like how that Supreme Court Justice describing pornography, "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it"
If you are 1 race that visually appears one way and you've been raised by your people of similar visage, you will have a good understanding.
Whether it's a social construct left from bygoone stratification accross the world with varying melananin is an opinnion at best.
My skull, hair, DNA and soul are entirely distinct from a non white person. It does not make them less of a person (Except negro) to not be like the Caucuazoid Homosapian but you're trying so hard to be multicultural that you fail to accept glaring facts that are contrary to your own world view and what you want to beliebe.
Also the jedis are a distinct race that is entirely seperate from the rest of humanity and much more akin to that of a viper or asp family.
