I don't care about getting any more pos or neg rep.
I stopped caring long time ago. I remember it well. It was when I stopped believing in Santa Claus.

Neither do i, but to make this thread slightly more interesting id say that a word that doesn't exist usually describes my feelings on 'racist matters'. The closest i can come to describing the word i want is 'mindless/shallow/low brow/ignorance' If we take the meaning of racist as believing in a superiority of 'your' people to 'other' people i need a term that doesn't encompass that but does describe 'silly statements'.
btw this made me O_o

Re: racist neg rep
Since when is a religion a race? Is one born as a muslim and can only be muslim by birth?
Religion does not equal race.
Regionalism does not equal race.
I would like to think that being of a particular race cannot be learned in a book or taught be a religious leader.

See this is where you demonstrate you ignorance again. Race is a sociological phenomenon with very little to do with biology. It is possible that a person that SELF IDENTIFIES as white might have more genetically in common with a person that SELF IDENTIFIES as black than another person that SELF IDENTIFIES as white. Seriously, what school did you graduate from again?
Quote:
A human race is defined as a group of people with certain common inherited features that distinguish them from other groups of people. All men of whatever race are currently classified by the anthropologist or biologist as belonging to the one species, Homo sapiens. This is another way of saying that the differences between human races are not great, even though they may appear so, i.e. black vs white skin. All races of mankind in the world can interbreed because they have so much in common.

ironically I would say that your opinions on this are quite parochial, in that they are probably derived from your experiences with an American culture that has its own peculiar views on race that are not generally shared by the rest of the world. In the UK (or europe) a person with white skin who 'self-identified' as black would be laughed at, but I believe this sort of thing isnt particularly uncommon in the US. The whole idea of 'racial identity', 'self-identification' and other po-mo buzzwords have far less currency outside the US than they do within it. It's not that difficult really; roughly speaking, a person with white (not literally white, but we all know the sort of colour we're talking about) skin is White, a person with a <certain_shade_of_brown> skin is Asian, and someone with <a_different_shade_of_brown> skin is Black . Racism is irrational discrimination against people based on their skin colour. Once you move beyond this silly American discourse about self-identification, it isnt particularly difficult to talk about races and racism. There is no such thing as 'self-identifying' as Black (or 'African-American'), although a particular person with black skin may choose to accept or reject parts of the culture he grew up in.
'Scientific' definitions of race (in as much as they exist) tend to be parasitic on our pre-scientific ideas about skin colour. So although terms like 'caucasian' and 'negroid' may not be explicitly based on skin colour as such, they tend to be focused on identifying the common characteristics shared by groups of people who have already-historically been grouped together because of their skin. Ultimately I would say that all talk about 'race', whether in common language or otherwise, really boils down to talk about skin colour.

Do you use a munsell color chart? Are dark skinned people from India black or white? :0 What about White people with a dark tone (not a tan) and light colored africans. What about Albinos. Maybe you don't want to use skin color, maybe you want to see if a pencil in their hair will fall through or get stuck in the nappy curls, maybe you don't like that and want to start measuring cranal capacity and nose length. Don't be moronic. People are diverse, too diverse to easily classify. It's all a sociological phenomon. White people in Brazil would be considered black in the US, Japanese are 'honorary whites' in arpatheid South Africa, the list goes on. It's all hoggeldy poo.

I'm not sure what youre talking about, but most people have very little difficulty in deciding what constitutes 'white' skin within the context of their everyday experience. If Robert and Jemal both have the same colour of 'white' skin then they are both white, regardless of whether Jemal's grandmother came from Africa. Again, the denial of this sort of thing is largely a US phenomena and tends to be linked to that horribly retarded 'African American' term you use.

Hey you decide how you want to classify people all you want. It's fine by me. That's why I say it is a sociological phenomenon. Just don't give me that 'biology" or "genetic" bullshit, because then you're dead wrong. I prefer to rely on self identifcation, however, as does the US census, and the entire field of anthropology, sociology, etc.
Also, Munsell Color Chart in action. Only in your case it would be skin, and not dirt. More on Munsell.
Also maybe you should write down a set of rules and such as to who fits into what race and see how it works out.

I'm not sure what there is to be wrong about. Most people intuitively base their racial classifications on skin colour, and skin colour is a function of genetics. A white person who grew up in da ghettos and listens to hiphop is not black just because he discovers that his great-great-great grand-parent came from Nigeria.

I wouldn't bother using that line of argument since your posts on this subject are generally excessively influenced by your emotional response (see your previous rather terribly OTT posts on the topic in the past). If you're going to appeal to superior support from academia then it's probably best you don't get so over-excited.

"Race" is a sociological categorisation of (generally) biological differences between individuals. Obviously it's not clear-cut, which is why race as a biological identifier is notoriously tricky - but it is still used. In medical trials when they are trying to assess (say) the effect of a new drug on different ethnic/racial groups (which happens ocassionally) they don't want to know how someone "self-identifies" as that would make any results utterly meaningless.
Even in political terms, self-identification isn't the be all and end all. Sure, it's quite powerful in terms of measuring cultural affiliation (for want of a better term) which is why it's used in the census (aside from convenience) but it's not like it describes every real-world scenario sufficiently. A black person self-identifying as white in South Africa circa 1970 wouldn't have got very far.
Beyond this, in a real world event if you saw a guy running from the scene of a crime (say) would you refuse to use terms like 'black' or 'white' or whatever to describe them, or would you wait until he or she had self-identified to you?

It is just not as simple as you think it is. You would be surprised to learn how people in the distant past viewed 'races' and how they were classified. What determines a race is part of the currently accepted ideas in the majority of people's heads. People have moved from one race category into another, within their own lives. (Italians for instance were once, in the US not considered to be white, but now they are). I am not talking about white people who listen to rap. Race is a very subjective thing. To some extent it is based 'roughly' on imagined ideals of biological traits that some people fit very neatly into, but many don't. Black people in the US for the most part are no where near as dark as black people in Africa, you might think that just because they have a shade of brown in your eyes they are black, but in the eyes of someoen else all they see is the shade of white, and so they are white. I am telling you, it is all subjective, it is all different based on different ideas, and that's why it is best to rely on self identification. Look at a room full of people, get two randomly selected people in that room to point out all the people who are wearing a 'red' shirt, and you will get different results. It is not biology, it is not genetics.

I never said that race isn't real (or at least I didn't mean to). I said it isn't based on genetics or biological explanations.

People of African descent share a lot genetic traits (sickle cell for instance), as is expected, but this is separate from race. Also, a lot of the health issues that black people versus white people experience have cultural explanations (such as lifespan (standard of living), heart disease (diet), etc). And incidentally on any clinical trial or scientific study I have ever encountered, race has always been self identified.

Re: racist neg rep
Black, white, whatever are just words describing people so as long as the person you're talking to knows what you mean it doesn't really make any difference. Of course you should probably make sure they know what you mean before you start talking.
Language games!

On hoggeldy poo?
Perhaps you mean race.
As far as I know there are 3 basic races based soley on bone structure and is used by anthropologist.
The 3 races are Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid.
Everything else may be self-defined but you cannot decide what bone-structure your going to have. And how do the unconsious and dead people self-define themselves?

Re: racist neg rep
Wait a second so does this mean if I use the term "dirty dirty darky" then I might be offending a white guy if they self-identify with them?
How confusing
How am I supposed to be a racist if people want to swap races?!

It's his argument, not mine. However your point is complete hoggeldy poo, the American Anthropological Association currently holds that races are a social construct. I don't know what anthropologists you've been talking to but I'd advise checking up on their credentials.

The first two. The last you hardly need any assistance.

What does "based on [...] biological explanations" mean though? In your example of the red shirt, people's interpretation of what 'red' is, is of course a subjective process. However what they are interpreting often has a physical basis (the dyes used in the shirt or whatever).
Quote:
People of African descent share a lot genetic traits (sickle cell for instance), as is expected, but this is separate from race.
|
Here's a good example of what we're talking about. We're all of African descent aren't we? But that's OK because we know what you meant by this. As JBG says, this is why terms like 'black' or 'white' are useful, if everyone is careful that you know what you mean.
Quote:
Also, a lot of the health issues that black people versus white people experience have cultural explanations (such as lifespan (standard of living), heart disease (diet), etc).

Thanks for pointing out the breathtakingly obvious. I'm not really sure who you think you're arguing with here but some of us are aware of some of the issues despite lacking your obviously superior educational background...

Yeah, me neither. I'm not sure the 'stupid' needs to be typed either

Re: racist neg rep
To be abit of a hippie, we are ONE race.<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Racism, sexism and homophobia (and all other forms of oppresion based on nothing) is a result of grouping. The sooner we realize that we all are different persons even if we have simmilarities (like skintone or sexual preferences) , it will be swell and cool and lots of sex.

Re: racist neg rep
On an interesting side-note does this mean I can invent my own race if I self-identify with it?
If so dibs on being a transformer.

Re: racist neg rep
although 'black' and 'white' are obviously substantial indicative markers of a person, trying to map a universally applicable culture or behaviour pattern on that is idiotic. We don't say in all seriousness that brunettes behave differently to blondes even though hair can indicate certain medical conditions (white forelock etc).

Outside of the lunatic fringe of the white & black nationalist movements I'm not sure anyone seriously tries to do this (any more at least).

Something to do with getting the negroids out I presumed.

Re: racist neg rep
We're trying to decide whether to stick with the all-white outfit with the pointy hats, or to maybe go with a bit of colour. I was thinking about a bit of pink trimmings around the collar and cuffs. What does everyone think?

Re: racist neg rep
Can we change neg rep from red to black please as black as a "colour" * has more negative connotations?
* i'm perfectly aware black is the absence of colour so shut the **** up

That's not being racist.

We've got fat people, gays, lawyers, Scots -- all kinds of screwed up people on this forum. No reason why we can't have a racist like you on the forums, Flavius.
