    I have read, perhaps you should had asked if i understood it. I did mention i didn’t understand enough about genetics. You seem to be having an arguement, where as im having a discussion. Science is important, yes. But blindly trusting words of an article. All scientific consensus says is basically “this is the popular vote of agreement, so it must be true” im not saying its wrong, im saying should blindly trust a general consensus as fact. The obvious thing is you being haneous about having your perspective challenged. Could we discuss this like gentlemen rather than you throwing a hissy fit. There was really no reason get all spiteful and uncivil. This isnt even about the intial discussion any more, but you just getting irrationally angry when i asked for an opinion of your own.

      “Blindly trusting the words of an article”

      No. Again, it’s the SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS.

      “All scientific consensus means is the agreement of the global scientific community, that’s not something you can trust, EVER, so you should listen to me, a random person online, rambling. It’s for sure gonna be more accurate, despite me having actually admitted that I don’t even understand genetics.”

      Are you smoking crack or something?

      You clearly haven’t read them. Honestly, it’s incredible that you’ve spent all this time here, when you could’ve just read them and understood why race isn’t a thing. You don’t understand the argument they’re making. You don’t understand that no such thing as a biological race exists according to the BEST understanding we have. Do you think your half-assed ideas are better than the research of THE ENTIRE GLOBAL COMMUNITY THROUGHOUT HISTORY?

      I’m not angry. I’m trying to emphasise the thing you’ve clearly missed. You don’t understand that we aren’t on an equal footing in this. You admit yourself you don’t understand genetics, yet think you can have a “discussion” about pushing your ideas which rely on not understanding genetics. If you did understand genetics, you wouldn’t hold those idiotic ideas in the first place, which is WHY YOU SHOULD READ THE STUDIES.
