The transatlantic slave trade lasted ~300 years that's about 15 generations. In comparison bulldogs have been selectively bred since around 1600 (probably much longer that's just the first written references, bull baiting is much older.) That's over 210 generations. And slave owners definitely as a whole were no where near as serious about the whole thing as dog breeders.

>if "race" isn't a valid classification of humans
It's as valid as you want to make it. You can make infinitely simple and complex groupings of humans for data purposes, medical science does that all the time to identify those at higher risks of certain diseases and such. Everyone knows that the social constructionist, or reductionist arguments are just trying to invalidate one set of broad categorizations to disprove racists, sexists, etc. while ignoring the more complex groupings that have benefit, i.e. certain races having higher risk of heart disease which medicine uses to efficiently manage the statistical realities.

Anyway, the rest of that screencap is a bunch of strawman pseud nonsense. Add another worthless race-baiting thread to the pile.

>There genetically aren't separate races.
This is a weird statement, because it's hard to prove or disprove, what is the criteria for separate? He never says.
He mentions that there is "no one trait you can use as a division between races" first of all this a strawman, but also there doesn't need to be, there is no one trait for any similar categories. Race, just like all categories, is something that the human mind projects onto the material world, call this a social construct if you want, but this doesn't mean that there is not a reason to believe in the validity of these groups.
What I think is a good criteria is if the different populations cluster into different genetic groups, and they clearly do.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20643205
there are tons more studies like this


>Human populations haven't been separated long enough for major differences to evolve.
Again, he never says what the criteria for a "major difference" is, what is and isn't major is all a matter of perspective. Not only that but time and genetic variation are two separate things, the amount of time really doesn't matter.


>Muh more variation within than between
This one made me laugh desu.
He threw out this stupid overused talking point and never elaborated on it. So what if there is more variation within than between? Does this change the fact that humans form different genetic clusters? No, so why bring it up?
And than he goes on to say that the more loci you use the more accurate information you'll get on someone's ancestors, again the only way to really respond to this is to ask; yeah, and? This doesn't matter at all, and you'll notice he never says why it should matter. Of course the more info you use the more accurate you're findings will be....


The rest of the post is just non arguments. The conclusion someone draws from information about genetic variation between human groups is irrelevant to the facts.
