I don't know why that's funny but you manage it. I have a feeling Hobbes wouldn't approve of either.Harbal wrote:I was asking what name we should give to the difference.

It seems to me that the 'races don't exist' concept is a pathetic attempt by the terribly PC to somehow end racism. You can't stop people from noticing differences in groups of people, so scientists can rabbit on about 'genomes' all they want. Hardly anyone knows or cares what that is anyway. Most people who mention 'race' aren't thinking about biology. Apparently 'ethnicity' is perfectly ok with the PC. It fits nicely into their 'safe space'.
To claim that something doesn't exist, you have to first define what it is that 'doesn't exist'.
According to Wiki: Race is the classification of humans into groups based on physical traits, ancestry, genetics or social relations, or the relations between them (nothing about genomes there).
