Fail. Until you can prove something exists it don't.
Incidentally, you're wrong. I'm not introducing the concept of 'race', it is already extant and the evidence already exists. You're questioning its validity, implicitly dismissing the evidence, and demanding I defend against your unsubstantiated dismissal. Doesn't work that way.

Crap. Some guy makes a claim with proof and you use that as proof? Weird.

Until somebody can prove something exists, it don't. Happy now? Still in the fail zone, however, despite your wiggle.

Nothing can be proved outside of pure logic and mathematics. :prof:

However, the differentiation of subgroups of a species into subspecies and races is common practice biological classification. Why should it not apply to the human species?

We can neither prove nor disprove the existence of race unless we agree on a definition.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

I'm a Celt. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Fuck this "white" shit, I range in color from a burnt reddish to fish belly.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Pure European White here... even though the Mediterranean element shows heavily. I've got Gaulish, Roman, Norman, Breton, Irish, Scottish, Possibly a bit of Eastern European, Possibly some Moorish or Spanish Jew... so classical Western French mutt.

Yeah I'm confuzled by this current popular notion that race is a fiction :what:
It dunt make much sense to me :think:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.
