ttbn,

Robert Sussman, Franz Boas for starters.

"Franz Boas' major contribution to anthropology was his denial of race as a biological construct. During the late 19th century, anthropologists used biological features to justify racial divisions. Boas disagreed with this and proved that physical features are a result of evolution in one's environment, not evidence of human species...."

which gives the American Anthropological Association's views on the subject.

Race, as a classification system for the various groupings of humans, was debunked years an' years ago.

Unfortunately, because of the media and other ignorant groups, we seem to be stuck with the popular erroneous notion of 'race'.

Is Mise,

You are entitled to believe any old rubbish you chose to believe; just don't expect to be take seriously.

Dear nicknamenick,

Poor choices of alcohol?

Nah. "Alcohol is like love. The first kiss is magic.
The second is intimate, the third is routine and
after that - anything goes."

So in other words, ttbn, you’re just gonna believe whatever you want, and to hell with the evidence? How very typical of you.

In my experience, the only people who cling to the debunked 19th century concept of race are those who want to believe that at least one of the other “races”, to which they do not belong, is in some way inferior to theirs.

And you reckon there’s no racism in Australia?

SBS is more obssessed with pornography and perversion than it is race. They call it art and diversity.
