My race? 50 yard dash, why?
A room full of medical students and none of them can say what a haplogroup is? I don’t buy it.
Dealing with different groups of people is a problem in science because “race” really is a inaccurate and loaded term, and has the connotations and history of racism. Over the last 20 years, terms and concepts like “ethnicity” and “culture” are more common, as they are more accurate descriptions of a person or groups origins and behaviors. In the case of responding to medical drugs, a person’s culture determines what they eat and what pathogens they are exposed, which affects how they respond to different drugs.
When a white man and a white woman have a baby the baby is white.
This happens because "race" is a biological reality.
"Race" differences appear at the genetic level.
Even before "race" people spoke of ethnicity, ancestry, and origins of people which are early terms for "race".
The term "race" is something every people on earth have always been aware of they just used different names to describe it.
“I know perfectly well, just as well as all those tremendously clever intellectuals that in the scientific sense there is no such thing as race. But you, as a farmer and cattle-breeder, cannot get your breeding successfully achieved without the conception of race. And I as a politician need a conception which enables the order which has hitherto existed on historic bases to be abolished and an entirely new and anti-historic order enforced and given an intellectual basis... With the conception of race, National Socialism will carry its revolution abroad and recast the world.”—Adolph Hitler
They have had it Shoved down their throats for the last 75 years. And it is still Bullsh*t.
Hard to tell whether this is creditable research that advances any positives for society, or whether its just more propaganda aiming to equate everyone for socialist, anti-white, anti-achievement purposes.
They got to figure out if they are testing purebreds. Because mutts are going to screw up the results.
“biomedical researchers”?
Are these the same folks who can’t tell males or females by their external or internal plumbing?
Why does Slate even use the word “science”?
They are dumbass journalists - and poor ones at that.
What a racist pile of crap.
Looking at the responses, I am confused so that conservatives would be defending race as a construct.
We only one race: The Human Race.
We’re NOT dogs, cats or other animals that were bred for different temperaments and abilities. We all possess the biggest brain in the animal kingdom, and if taught how to use logic, discernment and how to overcome our emotions and feelings to look at the evidence, we’re all capable of so much!
That’s why we don’t care whether someone is black or white like the democrats do; they think blacks must all think the same lockstep idea that everything is whitey’s fault. No, we conservatives accept all great thinkers, such as Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, or Candace Owens, and don’t even consider their race or color.
It’s what’s in their heads and hearts that matters.

The fabricating author is an idiot.
Yeab they conflate race and culture.
That’s the only way to get PC results.
Human race....
And if UFOs are real, we might get to define an alien race...
