We are not racist. Sometimes tourists come here and try to provoke us. Racism is illogical and founded exclusively on feelings of inadequacy.

The chinese are humans, just like anyone. I quite like authentic chinese food.

Coronavirus is of course a "nothingburger."

I could help you with your calculus homework, but it is against board rules for you to ask for help with your calculus homework. We can give you tips for succeeding in calculus though.

Races may be genetically distinct populations of individuals within the same species, or they may be defined in other ways, e.g. geographically, or physiologically.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but humans are mostly descended from members of our species who heroically killed interlopers and saved their village from invaders, and were rewarded with desirable breeding mates. The thing is, people who look different will kill you. Full stop. You kill them first, or you die and every girl and woman you've ever met is raped. This is the animal we were and still are underneath a veneer of civilization.

I dont care about any race but I did find it funny, when a chinese woman thought I was avoiding her due to corona but I stood next to her when waiting for the traffic lights to go green, and she was confused on why I did that. Let's just say that first of all I'm not bothered and secondly I want off this planet, and possibly live again in a different dimension.

There are probably a decent amount of white-collar people here compared to other boards. Whether or not that makes it smarter is debatable especially since a bunch of /x/-tier retards come here to try and seem more credible. There's currently an influx on /pol/fags sperging out over covid. Unless you already have a background in science/math you shouldn't trust anything posted here, honestly.
>Are you guys the least racist out of all of the boards?
No.
>What is your opinion on the Chinese?
Mostly fine, though I'm not a fan of Xi and I think their economic and political structures aren't sustainable and will end poorly, probably within the century.

Dividing a continuous range of frequencies into discreet categories is a social construct, yet we do this with colors and have made classifications of types of electromagnetic radiation.
Every concept can be derived from a social construct and accusing anything of being such is a non-argument. What you do instead is question its empirical validity and reproducibility of the evidence.
We still differentiated colors before even before we knew the physics of colors because we could recognize those differences and define them through our senses. Same goes for ethnicity; we have been able to see eidonomy and skin color differences and therefore conclude there are inherent differences (at the macro level). It is until the very recent DNA-revolution that we have been able to study these differences at the micro level, for perspective the human genome project was finished in 2003.

Within this decade there have been large developments in genotyping to differentiate by ancestry/ethnicity which will get more and more precise in the future. Identifying ethnic differences at the micro level will hopefully allow for a more concrete definition of "race" to be set so arguments about the concept won't turn into debating semantics which it does in all of these threads.

Race was a scientific term which described different natural variations within a species, dating back to the works of Darwin, perhaps earlier. it's fallen out of use over the 20th century, now if used at all, it's referred to as subspecies. and choosing dogs was a bad example, as that would be breed, not race. the difference being that breeds are selectively bred.

Basically all the stereotypes are based in reality with many apparently unable to avoid the cruel hand of Darwinism in the industrialized world.
PSAs like https://youtu.be/XA241Lg70fg exist because they don't see sleeping on the road as a bad idea and need to have the risk explained to them.

Here we have lots of bleeding hearts that feel bad for them and think those that don't care about their deaths are heartless, maybe they are right.. But after I saw my 3rd coon killed because he was sleeping on a mining conveyor I just stopped caring.
People were sent to their towns to tell them the dangers of mining gear, the conveyor had safety guards removed so he could get in and the sirens that were only installed after the second death and ran for 5 minutes before startup didn't stir him.

One reason why racism is considered bad today is that we have explored the whole Earth and the "kill them b4 they kill you" argument has lost its power in many parts of the world.
If humanity ever goes into space and explores new inhabited worlds the tolerant wirldview will receive a crash test. Ppl will need to relearn racism the hard way. There is no basis to believe other space-level civs are benevolent. How likely is it that they got into space with the power of friendship and self-control? Is their home world so desperately in shit they are hunting for a new home? Are they an expabsive dictatorship that survives vy stomping all its foe with overwhelming force? Considering, you have just started exploring space, could their tech be more advanced than urs? If there is a contact, it is prudent to assume the worst case scenario, in which the other party assumes the same about you.
Trusting aliens in this case, even if they hold "We come in peace" banners is totally idiotic. You better destroy them as could-be invaders and hope they get so apalled by your ferocity they stay out afraid of what other tricks you got in the sleeve.

Tolerant mindset civs will get culled the first in space jungle. Ppl should never forget what racism is and why our ancestors exercised it so hard. The promotion of tolerance, altruism and acceptance very well could be the great filter

Look at the numbers and draw your own conclusions. The number of new cases is tapering off, 89% of concluded cases have made a full recovery, meaning only 11% who catch it die and those who die tend to be elderly and/or have pre-existing conditions (auto-immune problems, diabetes, heavy smokers, kidney problems et cetera). Though even the bootlickers at WHO warned it's too early to be optimistic because the number of new cases may grow faster after the quarantine ends (which China will of course end prematurely because Xinnie the Flu cares about his pockets more than his people). So that 11% may be much lower for the total population, which is why the WHO uses a 2% number right now.

>B-But the Chinese are lying
They are, but even if we look at cases outside of China the 89% recovery rate remains consistent, and lethalities are still disproportionately old and/or immuno-compromised.

What I can't tell you is how the disease will spread. Right now it looks like containment is coming along pretty well, but it could just as easily spread very quickly in Western countries. The worst thing won't be that people will drop dead in the streets like flies, the problem is that 11% is still a lot. 11% of a country of 300 million is 33 million. American hospitals don't have 33 million beds available, let alone rooms suitable for quarantines. If the outbreak really takes hold of America, we'll likely see Chinese style quarantine camps and emergency hospitals (though most likely less incompetently built).

As a STEM fag, I think /lit/ is smartest, but maybe that's because I'm fascinated by the topics and I don't have the expertise (only the curiosity)
