THE CHOICE: TRIBE OR CORPORATION
There exists one species of man remaining that we know of (we have killed and eaten the rest), and of the single species that remains, there are at least major races of man: white, black, and mongoloid, with multiple blending points in areas of contact – the most obvious being the middle eastern high aggression peoples. Any other statement is an unscientific and intentional denial of demonstrated human behavior.
Races are not artificial constructs no matter how hopeful you might wish them to be (admittedly under the various false consensus biases endemic to the solipsistic female intuition), any more than gender is a false construct, any more than reproductive desirability is a false construct, any more than any reproductive strategy is a false construct, any more than aggression is a false construct.
People demonstrate in politics (voting) in business(commerce), in friendship, and in mating, in humor, in body language, and in tastes – that they overwhelmingly practice in-group cooperation and affiliation (kinship/kin-selection).
The market (thankfully) eliminates a great deal of the advantage of kin-selection for consumers even if NOT for workers, and more intensely, not in politics. More so than any other walk of life, in politics, everywhere on earth, humans absolutely favor kin-selection.
Denialism and pseudoscience change nothing except to increase the severity of conflict by propagating pseudoscience. The only reason race is an issue is democracy, imperialism, and colonialism.
The south americans and the hindus have successfully integrated races at the cost of creating caste systems. So by and large we get to choose between high trust redistributive tribal-nationalism, and low trust high corruption low-redistribution caste-corporatism.
You can get away with anything for a while. But not forever.
We are just gene machines, and all our rationalization is merely an attempt to improve our reproductive strategies.
