LOL

The left has GOT to stop using race/skin color.

As a Democrat, I agree.

But I kinda want to see how deep this goes.

Indeed. But worst.

It's a pretty relevant distinction within American life. I'm no strategist, but it doesn't seem unreasonable.

The only people who think race don't matter is people who exclusively interact within the same race.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's a social construct that didn't exist until the 1600s, but it's a real social construct.

Outside America and other former plantation economies it can be a bit different, and less in-your-face, but it's almost always still there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's not purely a social construct, I hate this stupid idea. It's a phenotype. Babies do not have a randomized skin color at birth, it depends on their ancestry. Calling that a "social construct" is arguably racist in itself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Skin colour is a complete continuum, and one which doesn't very in any uniform way based on geography, aside from the darkest people coming recently from Africa.

By this logic, ear size is a race.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (34 children)

Yes! You're getting it. Ear size is an aspect of race. As is hair texture and height and all the other inheritable phenotypes. Skin color is just the most visibly obvious one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (15 children)

So you're saying race == phenotype? Then you also have to say that race is a continuum, and, therefore, any arbitrary line on that continuum a social construct.

Which is btw blindingly obvious to Europeans, Harris is white in my book: There's plenty of Italians with darker skin. Funny how perception changes if you actually consider skin colour to be skin colour and not some grand overarching signifier for an in reality culturally defined group.

You first.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't need to... I don't care about people's skin color or race or religion or ethnicity or their nationalities. That doesn't define an individual.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Sure, right. Because I'm sure you are free and clear of centuries of systemic white supremacy... Uh huh.
