Why do people look at women and think they're inferior? Why do people think being white means you're automatically racist? Why do people think money makes someone respectable? Because they're stupid. Thinking is hard, that's why most people judge.

It was always an incorrect and asinine concept. And in the USA it escalated into "white" or "Caucasian" and "black" and "Latin" and whatnot. I think it was a main point in 1984, how language can influence our ability to think. Study haplogroups and you'll arrive at a very different worldview.

Which is why academic journals (can't remember which ones, but Elsevier, I think) should stop asking us to self identify our *race* when creating reviewer or submission accounts, even though the purpose of course is good (surveying the ethnicity bias / race privilige or similar).

I think they should keep such a question in there, to discriminate against every "scientist" who chooses something else than "other".

The concept of race was invented by racists

Has anyone studied if presenting information in circular bits is less or more confusing then presenting information in a std linear order ? my guess, the circle is cute and hip, but harder to read and process

A (ethnic) Nigerian is biologically different from a Norwegian of an Indonesian. There are real differences. All the other baggage isn't that but rhat's not the same as "Race isn't biological": it's "biological race isn't the cultural baggage racists bundle it with." THe lines are also blurry.
