'Race', just like any form of subdivision of living creatures, is a human construction. There's a scientific consensus that all humans that aren't extinct belong to the same species and the same race.

Not this fallacy again ... 

Just because it's a human construct doesn't mean it's not real like gravity or evolution and there is no scientific consensus that there is only one race like I showed above in my link ... (doctors/pharmacists certainly don't agree with that consensus at this point since there's a blatant drug which is race specific)

OK, let me ask you then. Do you consider some human races inferior to others?

I think we do this here in Brazil as well. It’s a little weird and there are a few cases of white people abusing it to get in good colleges, but those are outliers. Overall, it doesnt affect much...

I'm pretty sure we do it everywhere... Whenever I've filled out my ethnicity on a form, I've never ever been forced to take a DNA test.

Lol that’s true. What i mean to say is that it’s probably not going to change anything in any major way, so no need to freak out against ‘SJWs’



I make game analyses on youtube:

Just PM me since my ban hammer senses are tingling ... (I'm out from participating any further in this thread)

Of course there's no need... but "we will continue identifying race pretty much the same way we always have" is not nearly as interesting as "OMG THE SJWS WANT TO LET EVERYONE IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS PANDAS!"

Legitimately curious to those who think this is crazy... how is this different than how you would record race if you were in charge for collecting that data in a school?



Puppyroach on 17 February 2018

So, is it possible to be defined as something other than the human race? I don´t understand it really.

You basically just answered the question. Nice.

How ?

The idea of race is so overstated to begin with, why do we as humans need to cling to a box we check on a piece of paper? Amazing how you can put toddlers in a room and they'll play with each other without even once considering what their 'race' is. Put adults in the same room and it's a completely different story...
