Do they hold a Sherwin-Williams paint colour card up to your skin to decide what kind of crime has been committed? If so, is this done perimortem, or do they go by the footage of the attack? (skin is paler after you die)
No scientists or medics have ever been able to confirm that the human species has distinct races. Even if you talk in terms of "The Vikings were a savage race of people", you're still really just talking about behaviour ('culture' is an elaborate word for behaviour). Kenyans can typically run faster for longer but that's down each individual's genome -- if you want to say that such variation in DNA is racial then please explain to me why there is more variety in DNA among black people themselves than there is between the supposed 'races'. Get two black guys, one from East Africa and one from West Africa, and there will be more DNA variation than between a New Yorker and a Vietnamese.
I would join in on race discussions if I believed there were such a thing as race. I don't. I do believe in paint colour cards though.
