That was proposed as a criteria a long time ago, but there are too many exceptions, so they kinda go by ecological niches now.The debate about genetic species is an ongoing one.
Pity you're too dumb to participate. -

Not really. The definition of species still isn't well defined and the subject of ongoing debate. It still centers around reproductive viability.Pity you're too dumb to participate.
Oh right, you just babbled some shit you don't understand. That's coo'. -

Not pedantic at all. People use the word "race" actively in a social context, for example to model their intuitions regarding skin colours. You walk by black people expecting them to behave a certain way, and we can work with that.
But stop pretending it's anything else, you're just rationalising how you feel.

If race isn't real how does affirmative action work?

their intuitions regarding skin color? why do you think it has anything to do with skin color? Example:

Learn to read, I didn't say race isn't real. Social policies address social issues. It is a social concept. This isn't difficult, you dimbulb. -

you're basically trying to make race into a completely cultural subject, that is entirely subjective and almost make believe, in the same way radical perverts are trying to turn gender and sex into a spectrum of culturally defined labels instead of obvious shit anyone can see for themselves.

Nobody claimed DNA has established species as a genetic concept, that's just your failure to understand the concept.
Say how DNA establishes races or fuck your mother.Other than claiming that species isn't a real thing, as if a cat and a dog are the same thing.

2019-02-18 at 1:25 PM UTCyou are so fucking pedantic. how does DNA define what a person is? what a hard hitting question.

You're not making any arguments, just crying about your feels falling apart when confronted by the reals. -

So what does DNA do?Say how DNA establishes races or fuck your mother.
DNA encodes everything about an animal. Without DNA you don't have anything at all. You can't even divide a cell without DNA.
Animals, including people, are just chemical reactions, and the reaction is planned and controlled by DNA.
If you notice that this chemical reaction has certain characteristics that another doesn't, all else being equal, then it is logical to assume that DNA is responsible, as there is no other method of causation.
Race is just a clump of chemical reactions who all breed together and all behave the same way. Behaviour is far more fundamental to race than appearance.
DNA isn't just a pseudointellectual fashion accessory.
But it's strange how you people always act all scientific and rationalistic, yet seem fully convinced that humans are divine creatures that are all somehow the same, especially mentally, despite there being no possible reason for assuming that. -

It doesn't define speciation yet, that's for sure.DNA encodes everything about an animal. Without DNA you don't have anything at all. You can't even divide a cell without DNA.

Nothing in this babble establishes anything that would remotely qualify a classification like "white" beyond exactly what it implies, i.e. skin colour.
Nothing I said remotely implies I believe human beings are divine creatures that are all the same, are you legit mentally challenged?
Genetics have a pretty good grasp on ethnic lineage for example, and I don't challenge that at all. Different groups of people may well have differences in their collective genetic statistics. That's not the problem you stupid cunt.
The problem is that you're talking about races, you're talking about justifying or preserving categorizations of the type "white, black, Asian, jedi" beyond apparent skin colour.
Sorry faggot, it simply doesn't work. There's more genetic diversity within the African continent than the rest of the world combined. A black person and a white person can have more in common genetically that that black person and another black person for example. It's just a shit categorization.
Just admit it's based on the one phenotype and it's cultural context, it will be so much easier.
Science doesn't support your stupid faggotry. Don't bring science into this, this is 100% about your feelings. -

You fairly pwned that strawman you just made.
