The Egalitarian rhetoricians are not so contradictory. to affirm, in fact, that races do not exist and, at the same time, to plead for a multiracial society makes one wonder, and what is the least one can say!

The idea is that race is only skin deep and that we should have a society where we have as many different looking people as possible. People with different worldviews that might be difficult to assimilate into mass culture, however, have to go.

Who is ever claiming race doesn't exist? That's pretty offensive to claim that and it is far from "egalitarian"

Political Correctness has no concrete terms.
Racialism is and is not politically correct.
It all depends upon the context:
Knowing History and Mode and using non sequitur in a way in which you can get away with it even though it is completely contradictory.

When people talk, they are not being scientifically or philosophically profound.
People talk in cliches. Stop talking to people or deal with it.

It's more like that inequal access to rights on the basis of ones race is abhorrent and anti-democratic. Nobody actually pretends there are not different races, that's a strawman.

The idea "Races are social constructs" is pretty common to the social sciences. To most it means that "race does'nt exist" in the strict sense.

Because this is a literature board and the European New Right has literature for us to talk about. It's no different than someone making a thread of the Frankfurt School and their works.

Nope, this is a standard /pol/ fallacy. Other 'social constructs' include governments, armies, and basketball. Being socially constructed =/= not existing.

But it's not a social construct in that sense either, it's a biological fact and not just skin deep.

Nah, recessive genes carry over and can be expressed further down the line. It's why mullatoes can have children with darker or lighter features than either parent.

Europeans are often thought of as a single race, even though they have a great diversity of hair color, eye color, skin tone, and other traits.

Basically, think mutts. You can't pin down a universal look on them.

It's the most nebulous category in filogeny.

Which in on itself, is more flexible field than most realize. Nowadays, dogs and wolves are the same specie. Birds are closer to dinosaurs than lizards. Camels and Llamas can create fertile offspring, Female mules can reproduce.

It's a science that tries to "box in" the mess that is the plethora of life.

It makes sense applied to insular gene pools. So, yeah maybe groups like abos can fit neatly in the definition. But consider brazilians. Assigning a race to them is as pointless as assigning a race to a mutt.

It's easier to compare extreme differences (and then take the average person from those vastly distances areas).

They have clear differences in skull and bone structure, adaption to local climate, muscles, etc.

I don't know if there's a certain amount of races.

If you have to take averages to identify them and can't even say how many races exist, how are they a 'biological fact' and not a product of systems of classification?

Stop talking only about politics or race, that belongs to /pol/.

Talk about books.

>>6854705
I understand the point you're trying to make with your snarky attitude.

Neither of us is well learned on biology or anthropology, but it's pretty clear people who live in one place for many generations have common traits with others in those areas, that are vastly different from common traits in another. This isn't immediately transferable in a matter of a few generations.

Whether you want to call it race or not doesn't change a thing, it's just play with semantics.

But race as what people traditionally thought of it as, a biological fact, is not real on this viewpoint. Which is why I said in the strict sense. There is no race outside of the subjectivity of the group that says that race exists, that is what they are going for.

>>6854526
Exactly, all identity markers ontologically prior to involvement to the state, the market, and involvement in mass society, are the enemy of bourgois leftist social engineering. Things like sex, race, ethnicity and religion are all points of resistance to mass culture. They use fantasies about "oppression" in order to homogenize people and cut them off from these ontologically prior identity points.

>>6854536
I know that, I was explaining what the bourgeois ideology claims.

Anyone curious about the reality of race should look up A.W.F Edwards paper on the subject, he proves that race is a valid taxonomic distinction.

>but it's pretty clear people who live in one place for many generations have common traits with others in those areas
No doubt. The traits are real, because DNA is real. But race is an extrapolation from a whole load of different traits, some of which are common between members of races, some of which are common across races, some of which can be common to groups smaller than races. Which is why I'm saying races are a product of systems of classification. They're not a 'biological fact' on the level of, say, 'I have a nose'.

>Whether you want to call it race or not doesn't change a thing, it's just play with semantics
Nah. 'Races' are a limited number of huge human populations. If I identify (say) two thousand smaller, more local groups of people on genetic grounds, would you say the difference is semantic?

Race is a social construct, but it isn't exclusively a social construct. I don't really think anyone who is being intellectually honest can read that conclusion.

As someone who spent 3 years in a Sociology program, they certainly can. I agree that there are social factors involved in some of how race is classified. But there are real biological distinctions between different populations, that leads to a difference in outcomes and creates a genuine inequality. Nordic people and Somalians are very explicitly biologically distinct on a level that is far than cosmetic or merely social, and it cannot be "fixed" by some social programs.
