Race realism refers to the fact that race is real. Race is a social construct is also, of course, "jargon".A dedicated thread for discussion of “Jambo’s Jargon”, jargon like “race realism” etc.
Cad e do chulra cine? What's your own ethnic background, if you don't mind me asking?
I don't know why he was banned, probably something he said, but I don't have any problem with his reinstatementDo you have any objection to Myles being reinstated?
Was wht Myles banned this time, s'il vous plait?Cad e do chulra cine? What's your own ethnic background, if you don't mind me asking?
Do you have any objection to Myles being reinstated?
I suggest an Amnesty for Myles in two weeks ~ Like Alias Smith and Jones ! !Was wht Myles banned this time, s'il vous plait?
Gael Irish, Viking Irish or Norman Irish? No offence meant, and none taken I'm sure.Irish as they come back as many generations as anyone on this island.
Jeez, I'd forgotten all about that prog, you're showing your age now!I suggest an Amnesty for Myles in two weeks ~ Like Alias Smith and Jones ! !
Diarmuid, the UK and USSR were on the same side in WW2.Gael Irish, Viking Irish or Norman Irish? No offence meant, and none taken I'm sure.
I take it you don't speak the Gaelic and have contempt for it?
What did your family do in WWII? My instinct tells me they collaborated with the Brits and the Soviets, but please correct me if I am wrong.
a. Irish Gael. “Atlantean” as I sense and might identify with. Ancestry in Connemara and Wexford.Gael Irish, Viking Irish or Norman Irish? No offence meant, and none taken I'm sure.

That may be a fact. But the question is how significant of a fact put next to other competing facts.Race realism refers to the fact that race is real.
I'm not. I speak out against what is going on.Why are you so keen to import more foreigners?
He's simply talking in evolutionary terms, the idea of a common ancestor..I betcha that Richard Dawkins wouldn't walk around London ( in the areas known for robbing wealthy people of watches etc etc etc )
Let Richard Dawkins prove that he is an African by doing that ! ! !![]()

Says you.He's simply talking in evolutionary terms, the idea of a common ancestor..
You're an idiot, Jambo.
No one is disputing the fact that there are DNA differences between races (that your jargon translates as "race is real" or "race realism" etc.).
But there are an additional two facts here to take account of.
First the fact of intra-racial DNA difference.
Second the fact of the much greater magnitude of these intra-racial differences as compared to the inter-racial differences.
And don't try to divert acknowledgement of those key additional facts by trying to drag things down your "social construct" rabbit hole.
I and most people would generally agree that the claim that race is a "social construct" is not a fact per se.
(Rather what it is is a Socratic type of social agreement about meaning - basically agreed on as a counter the attempt of your movement to rebrand discredited biological racism - who as we see use pseudo-scientific jargon to obscure the ideological nature of your beliefs. But I divert.).
So put that aside. No one here is claiming race as "a social construct" as fact or argument. As per my aside above, it is a social phenomenon. Perhaps warranting a separate discussion down the line. But let's stick to the scientific like facts here.
I acknowledge and accept that you're a bullshit artist.Now answer the question straightforwardly. Do you acknowledge and accept the additional two facts I pointed out?
Who denies that we are one species, I certainly don't.Says you.
He illustrated evolutionary distance to those ancestors. He did that specifically to make his point about how incredibly uniform we are as a species.
He talked about two distinct "Out of Africa" migrations. The first, Homo Erectus, a little over 1.5 million years ago, who left Africa and colonized Asia, Europe, and definitely Indonesia as well. (Now extinct).
The second migration Dawkins said was extremely recent, less than 100,000 years ago. (Reminiscent of what seems to be showing up in the Trinity research data of Dan Bradley and Bob Quinn's investigations in his documentaries that I sometimes post up for interest.)
He then talked of human genetic uniformity saying if you look molecularly at the molecules of modern human races, we are astonishingly uniform.
He pointed out that such genetic variation as there is exists mostly within Africa.
He said this suggests that the deepest divides of cousinship in our species are within Africa itself. While the whole of the rest of the world is "a very, very recent branch-off of the human species."
He said if you look at the amount of genetic variation in the human species, it's extremely low. He said if you take two chimpanzees from the same forest in Africa, they are likely to be more different from each other genetically than any two humans in the world.
He finished by noting how surprising this may be to people less inclined to abstract thinking like yourself when you consider that races look so different to our eyes.
But he emphasised that the genetics is very clear - that we are an astonishingly uniform species, that we are all one species, one very uniform species, and we originated very recently in Africa.
And that is exactly what he said. And he wore the t shirt to emphasise his words.
Also noting Dawkins goes further in acknowledging these tiny inter racial differences than most of his scientific peers who say they are too small and scattered across "racial groups" to be significant - who emphasise that "... no group of people is, or ever has been, biologically homogeneous or “pure.” Furthermore, human populations are not — and never have been — biologically discrete, truly isolated, or fixed. Genetic and phenotypic variants are not distributed across our species in a manner that maps clearly onto socially-recognized racial groups. This is true even for aspects of human variation that we frequently emphasise in discussions of race, such as facial features, skin color and hair type..."
