I love to be pedantic so I’ll point out that it had to be 3 equal mutually perpendicular golden ratio rectangles

Does anyone have an analysis comparing the Fremen of Frank Herbert’s Dune to the the Aiel of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time?
Mate, no. I understand the practical existence of race (well… to the extent a nonracialized person can) what I’m talking about is the expert consensus that: the matter of where the boundaries between races get drawn is determined by social factors, not biological.
The question of whether an ethnicity was (and is) ‘white’ or not was a political question, not a biological one.
You say I’m in denial of biological reality but you refuse to give examples of how I am deluded. You are not arguing in good faith.
No I honestly don’t. I also think you may not be as racist as you sound, I think you just don’t understand the difference between race and ethnicity. How many ‘black African’ races do you think there are? Answering this question would help me figure out your understanding of ethnicity vs race.
Can you give some examples of the biological reality you think I’m denying? The Wikipedia article you cited did not support your position that race is biologically significant to health.
You didn’t deny that ‘yellow’ is a race. (Again, I don’t believe in races, you seem to) Can you tell me some biological realities that apply to ‘yellow’ people?
I’m of the opinion that there aren’t any biological races and that race is a social construct.
Is it your opinion that ‘African type black people’ are a single race?
If there are “a fucking lot” of races, are you sure you mean races, and not ethnicities?
I think race means like, “well there are several races of people: white people, black people, yellow people, brown people and red people” …
From your link:
In the study of race and health, scientists organize people in racial categories depending on different factors such as: phenotype, ancestry, social identity, genetic makeup and lived experience.
Overall, racial health disparities appear to be rooted in social disadvantages associated with race such as implicit stereotyping and average differences in socioeconomic status.
Cool cool I’m now totally convinced race is meaningful. How many races would you say there are? I probably agree.
I’m with you approximately %100.
One thing I’ve done when arguing with a person that insists race is real and meaningful is to ask the other person how many races they think there are.
It gets the gears turning a bit.
European, African, East Asian, Arabic, South Asian, Indigenous Australian, Indigenous New Zealander/Pacific Islanders (same or different?), North American Indigenous, South American Indigenous? are Mexico’s Indigenous people the same race as Amazonians? Peru? Are they the same race as the Inuit of the arctic?
etc etc
100% and you know the first time it happens is going to be super covered too because of the potential for “controversy”.
