He is from my village in Ghana.

Not at all, you're just stupid

What makes a Ghanian racially distinct from a Kenyan? What makes the Central Plains Chinese a different race than a Sichuanese Chinese person? What makes a Welsh person distinct from a French person? Because that's the paradox he's referencing, not melanin levels. From a western POV yeah there are distinct biological groups (darker skin vs lighter skin), but the point is that if you take race to be a real thing then you can titrate it down such that every single person is a different race, which is true with that mindset and also ridiculous. As such, its a flawed idea.

No, your brain deceives you when you glibly generalize from skin color to biological categories.

Pretty much it does. Yes, you see physical features however you are attaching it to memories, ideas, emotion, biases, and conceptions. Therefore, I’m pretty sure that if you see 2 white male you won’t be able to identify if one is either American or Syrian ( there are white, blonde, green eyes males in Syria). However, if one of them tell you that is form Syria, your Brian will automatically associate it with emotions, ideas, values, and so on. Why? Because we experience the world through stories that 95% are unconscious.

@@disseminate4 It is you who are mistaken. There is much more to ethnicity than skin color. There are many genetic factors involved. It seems like you are the one that is focused on skin color.

@@disseminate4 race is still a factor driving capitalism's greed for dominance as a materialist ideology, I think
