    by that definition, there are several European races, several African races.

    the need to lump them into a convenient "black" and "white" race, is motivated by politics and bigotry.

    not the desire to understand the world.

    are darker skinned Arabs white...black..or something in between?

    how about Kurds? what about Berbers?

    4 racial categories only works if the you ignore the BILLIONS of humans that don't perfectly fit into this racial group

    It's standard taxonomy. Race denial is motivated by anti-White hatred.

    And countered only by mindless name calling.

    lol!!!

    the concept of distinct human races is barely 100 years old.

    your excuses for those who refuse to accept your psuedoscience is funny. :)

    its pretty (*)(*)(*)(*)ing ignorant to say that all the folks in North Africa, the Middle East, Persia, Caucasia, Turkey, the Balkans, Italy, Greece, MUST be members of this race

    [​IMG]

    or this race

    Continuum fallacy. Also at major race boundaries eg. Burma Bangladesh or Egypt Sudan individuals are more similar to all members of their major race versus any member of another.

    so where do YOU draw the line for the white race?

    and how do you justify it?

    Between Greeks and Turks. Look at a genetic chart.

    Not at all. In fact I would like to test their IQs.

    totally absurd and arbitrary, motivated by purely religious considerations.

    you could have just as easily said the border between Turkey and Lebanon.

    these are all fraternal twins.

    It's easy to call names. It's a lie if you have no data. So if I present data...

    There is a big discontinuity between Greeks and Turks.

    Are there non-fraternal twins?

    you shouldn't be discussing scientific matters if you have never heard of non-fraternal twins.

    You shouldn't be discussing scientific matters if you repeat fallacy after fallacy ignoring refurations.

    Of course I have. Stop derailing the thread. Non-identical or dizygotic are preferred terms. Obviously those twins are non-identical.

    now, defend your claim that Turks aren't white.

    North African Berbers are more similar to Swedes than to Nigerians?

    Ethiopians are more similar to Zulu than to Copts?

    prove it, with scientific data.

    define "mixed".

    are Greeks, Albanians, Italians, Balkans also "mixed"?

    how about Turks, Kurds, Assyrians?

    that's nice.

    now prove it.

    prove they are a result of recent ethnic mixing.

    You've never looked at any genetic data on this question? Why would you be here asserting the contrary? MOD EDIT - Rule 2
