Well, I'm basically paraphrasing but this is what he had to say in return. He claims race is a valid scientific category even though it's inexact. That's because social sciences are considered inexact, they don't yield certainty like the hard sciences. He then proclaimed that if people have lived in isolated environments sharing a similar gene pool under similar environments, how can the end result not be distinct categorical races based on genetics? The recent comingling of people due to globalism is a recent phenomenon which undoubtedly would polute the concept itself. |
Genetics isn't part of the "social sciences". Basically, your racist has contradicted himself, by asserting that this is somehow something inherent to being black, and then asserting that race falls within the social sciences.
