Jewish (Semitism) like Islam or Christianity is a religion not a race.
There must be genetic differences that determine differences in appearance, skin pigment etc.
I think skin colour will eventually adapt to the environment - so after a couple thousand generations, White Australians will start to have brown babies, haha. I guess it's not that funny...
We are supposed to be going Green aren't we ?
As I mentioned earlier their is no such thing as race, it's just artificial categories we place people in based on the colour of their skin and the region their ancestors were from.
How ever on the point of Jews, like Muslims, Islam and Judaism are both religions, however it's also a cultural thing that they attach some ethnicity to.
Eg I have heard people describe them selves as being Jewish, but then say they are atheist, and I have also seen people of Jewish back grounds descriminated against because of racial distinctions attached to being a Jew, even though they are not actually practicing the religion.
You can attack things like people's religion and other aspects of their culture and still be racist if the reason you are attacking that thing is because you have a problem with their race.
But you just explained (correctly Imo) that there's no such thing as race.

Here is a very good explanation of part of what I have been trying to say.
I think it would interest both Wayne and Rum pole, it's only a short video, but explains why scientifically races in humans aren't really a thing.

Value Collector said:Offcourse there is genetic differences but they are actually very slight, we are all the same species/race,
Fine, thank you.
In one of your other posts you mentioned species, which of course all humans are the one species, like dogs are all the one species, but there are demonstrably different breeds of dog that can interbreed with each other, as difficult as that may be for some
So we can't just say "all dogs are the same" because in some ways they are, but different breeds have different characteristics not just in appearance but also in behaviour and susceptibility to certain diseases.
So maybe there is a parallel between breed and race but that's not to say that one dog is "superior" to another, they may just have different attributes due to their line of evolution.
So I have a problem with your statement
I don't think you can equate species and race, they are different metrics. Species = dog, race = breed.

Sorry, i haven't had time to do other than give this a cursory look, but it seems pertinent to recent discussions on this thread (and the religion threads)
SCIENCE tells us what Jesus looked like!

Melbourne Cup would be interesting if they ran different breeds, rather than the temperamental thoroughbreds.
Of course Thomas Morgan and his troupe of flies might also have something to say about no biological differences between breeds.

You are offcourse talking about "breeds" here, ie a line of animals that has been purposefully bred by humans to contain certain characteristics, human "races" were not formed this way, and when you randomly select individuals from around the world, we are genetically very similar as was mentioned in the video I up loaded, there is less difference between an African and a Native American than there is between two chimps from different part of the forest.
So maybe there is a parallel between breed and race but that's not to say that one dog is "superior" to another, they may just have different attributes due to their line of evolution.

As I was trying to explain in my other post, what we call "Races" today, are so genetically similar that there is nothing to be gained by trying to classify pros and cons about each one, because to the variation between individuals is much greater than the average difference between races.
For example, Lets say on average X race has an IQ of 130 and Y has as average IQ of 129, you can't judge any future people you meet of either race because both will still have individuals ranging from extremely low levels through to extremely high levels.
There did actually used to be other races of humans, they have actually become extinct now though, all that remains are homo sapiens.
Here is an interesting video on evolution and classifications.
Well congratulations to Bill Leak and The Australian, for calling out the egregious intellectual minnow, Amanda Wise and that appalling propaganda rag, not even fit for use as toilet paper, The Guardian.
The ridiculous example these asinine leftist activist culture destroyers set for what is laughingly categorized as political correctness, exemplifies the worst manifestation of the 'lets get offended' industry.
Shame on Ms Wise for such unwarranted accusations of racism and shame on the Guardian editors for letting such tripe see the light of day.
