It’s racist that we continue to use racial identifiers even though race science was debunked as pseudoscience some time ago.

Edit: for those who don’t know, here’s more information:

Scientific racism, sometimes termed biological racism, is the pseudoscientific belief that the human species is divided into biologically distinct taxa called “races”, and that empirical evidence exists to support or justify racial discrimination, racial inferiority, or racial superiority. Before the mid-20th century, scientific racism was accepted throughout the scientific community, but it is no longer considered scientific. The division of humankind into biologically separate groups, along with the assignment of particular physical and mental characteristics to these groups through constructing and applying corresponding explanatory models, is referred to as racialism, race realism, or race science by those who support these ideas. Modern scientific consensus rejects this view as being irreconcilable with modern genetic research.

Scientific racism misapplies, misconstrues, or distorts anthropology (notably physical anthropology), craniometry, evolutionary biology, and other disciplines or pseudo-disciplines through proposing anthropological typologies to classify human populations into physically discrete human races, some of which might be asserted to be superior or inferior to others. Scientific racism was common during the period from the 1600s to the end of World War II, and was particularly prominent in European and American academic writings from the mid-19th century through the early-20th century. Since the second half of the 20th century, scientific racism has been discredited and criticized as obsolete, yet has persistently been used to support or validate racist world-views based upon belief in the existence and significance of racial categories and a hierarchy of superior and inferior races.

Basically, “race” is a pseudoscientific concept that has been discredited. Race doesn’t really exist. There is no Black race or White race. Those races were made up, constructed around arbitrary physical characteristics, without any basis in actual biological science.

Race doesn’t really exist, but what does exist is ethnicity:

An ethnicity or ethnic group is a group of people who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups. Those attributes can include a common nation of origin, or common sets of ancestry, traditions, language, history, society, religion, or social treatment. The term ethnicity is often used interchangeably with the term nation, particularly in cases of ethnic nationalism.

Ethnicity may be construed as an inherited or societally imposed construct. Ethnic membership tends to be defined by a shared cultural heritage, ancestry, origin myth, history, homeland, language, dialect, religion, mythology, folklore, ritual, cuisine, dressing style, art, or physical appearance. Ethnic groups may share a narrow or broad spectrum of genetic ancestry, depending on group identification, with some groups having mixed genetic ancestry.

Lol imagine believing this and still thinking you’re not mentally ill.

explodicle ,

This is just a variant of the “I don’t see race” argument. When they say black and we say racist, we’re talking about a social construct, not pure biology. The cop and hiring manager still see people as black. Us refusing to use the word for this construct makes it harder - not easier - to address at a systemic level.

This is just a variant of the “I don’t see race” argument.

I don’t agree. Acknowledging the very real status of race science being a totally debunked pseudoscience, is not the same as saying, “I don’t see any outward, physical differences between people.” I recognize that some people have, for instance, darker skin than others. I don’t expect that the full rejection of the pseudoscientific concept of “race” will or should result in people becoming “color blind,” so to speak. However, I do think as we move from race classifications to ethnic classifications, skin color (or any other arbitrary outward physical characteristics) will become less important and other ethnic signifiers (like language or dialect, culture, art and clothing styles, nationality, religion, etc) will become more important.

She just turned black? Has he not been paying attention for the past 4 years? (Rhetorical question. We all know the answer to that is “no, of course he hasn’t, because he’s so fixated with himself!”)

I’m sure her Jamaican dad would be amazed to hear that his daughter hasn’t been black for almost all of her 59 years on this planet.

SaltySalamander ,

Almost all?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Well apparently she just turned black.

MegaUltraChicken ,

My wife and I were thinking about turning black. It’s just so much paperwork.

BigFatNips ,

I got a lawyer to file mine for me

jaemo ,

Just like those prescription glasses that you leave in the sun but aren’t all that effective in cars because the glass blocks the UV. We hate the non-working sunglasses folks. Many people are saying…

Just…turns black. I don’t know why we’d think anyone’s weird for saying that, seems totally normal. Who said weird?!

can , (edited )

In the full quote he did say she turned black “a number of years ago”, for context, but he’s still full of shit.

palordrolap ,

There's a joke involving peril sensitive sunglasses here somewhere.

finley ,

The Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses have been designed to help people develop a relaxed attitude to danger. At the first hint of trouble they turn totally black and thus prevent you from seeing anything that might alarm you.

I said this in another thread, but “things happening/existing before you know about them” is something I’m working on with my child, not something a presidential candidate should struggle with.

finley ,

Well, he is a 78 year-old child

jaemo ,

It’s strange that people would think such a weird, small-handed man-child could run anything let alone a country.

hateful, childish bullies are miserable people, and misery loves company

    Why is the entire Republican party so weird? Everyone is wondering why that is.

    Just very odd behavior and strange thinking.

    MegaUltraChicken ,

    He’s also too old. It’s embarrassing.

    jaemo ,

    But like, weird bad, not like ‘Weird’ Al.

    I feel like we need to be careful to carve out a safe place for him since national treasure and all.

    exanime ,

    It’s funny (sad funny, not haha funny) we can’t really know if what he said was just an incoherent sentence due to his obvious dementia or a racist comment due to his rampant racism or a misogynist comment due to his unbridled misogyny

    Trump truly is a whole package of shit

    Prandom_returns ,

    What a fucking moron. My god he represents his voters well.

    Just finished watching that train wreck and it went exactly like I (we!?) thought it would!

    It’s weird that Donald Trump can’t speak without being nasty. Donald Trump is weird in that mannerism.

    almar_quigley ,

    So weird. Just a weird weird dude. And old.

    datavoid ,

    Don’t get me started on the small hands

    Valmond ,

    And a convicted criminal.

    RagingRobot ,

    He is the oldest convicted criminal to ever run for office!

    Tire ,

    He’s incapable of changing his tone or approach for situations and different audiences in any major way. He’s always Trump +/- 5% difference.

    fine_sandy_bottom ,

    I wonder if they booked this event a few weeks back when Trump was trying to woo black voters.

    Since Biden stepped back and Kamala stepped up he would’ve abandoned that I guess - seems like instead he’s taken the opportunity to upset black voters in order to appeal to his base.

    Of course, he could just be being himself.

    SkyezOpen ,

    he could just be being himself.

    I don’t think he’s capable of being any other way.

    Tire ,

    This was a great well deserved ambush. The very first question was absolutely devastating for him and got him to show his nasty side. He can appeal to his base all he wants because they aren’t the majority.

    Grimy ,

    “She just isn’t black enough to be president” Trump hurt itself in its confusion.

    Cherry on top would be recommending tanning lol.

    Such an old weirdo. He is quite old and rather weird!

    Remember how people were betting when he’d say something openly racist? Bets were September, turns out it was June!

    And only July for today. You ok qooqie?

    groupofcrows ,

    Qooqie time travelled from the past to warn us about a grave threat in our past… These Marvel movies keep getting worse since End Game.

    GBU_28 ,

    I did not consent to July.

    ahornsirup ,

    Well, good news for you: it’s August now.
