Prince John posted:I really struggle to follow the intricacies of LGBT politics, but isn't this similar to the transexual debate we had a while back, where one sex identifies as another, while others stand by and claim they're only pretending? It looks like a double standard. Unlike gender which is more complicated than our chromosomes would have us believe race is an entirely fictional creation. You can maintain that you're literally a black woman trapped in a white man's body but the only part of it that would have any basis in anything even approaching reality would be the trans issue. I'm guessing that the issues surrounding the belief that you're another race, when race does not actually exist, is more to do with internalised issues than anything resembling anything biological. You might aswell claim you're an orc.

re: race and gender: gender is a high-level ideological concept based off of sex, which is a Real Biological Thing - both "man" and "woman" are unquestionably valid categories (they may or may not be the only valid sexual categories, but they are valid) so, gender roles are built on objective realities. some people genuinely don't see themselves as belonging to the gender corresponding to their sex, and so should probably be met with measures helping this out. there's a lot of biological weirdness around transgenderism, but there are at least some neurological indications that some people literally have central nervous systems with gender-dimorphic features belonging to the opposite sex to which they are born. race is pure identity. it's something we make up and then construct our definitions to justify after the fact. it is a rubbish concept. so when someone claims to be another race, it's purely grabbing another identity this is also why it's totally ok to make fun of super-weird paraphilias and otherkin etc and not, like, gay people

How do we decide who is authentically black (and what gives us the authority to legitimately do so)? Most importantly, is Coohoolin a True Scotsman or not?

I don't think they terminated his contract they're just not renewing it edit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32052736 Jeremy Clarkson's contract will not be renewed after an "unprovoked physical attack" on a Top Gear producer, the BBC's director general has confirmed. So no severance package! Fluo fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Mar 25, 2015 |

African AIDS cum posted:Yes, no, yes, yes so ethiopians and xhosa people are the same race, i assume my point is it's very difficult to construct a biological definition of "race" that is consistent with your answers here which is not explicitly made up in order to conform with the basically arbitrary racial categories we're already operating with (type phrenology, skin colour whatever)

Just because something is hard to do doesn't mean it isn't worth doing. If we all had that attitude Germany would rule the world and those brave Americans would have never landed on the moon, and I wouldn't have beat Metroid on NES.
