Good to see this article popup on my home page. Me and some others have been arguing this for years me since I was 12
In 2003, the completion of the Human Genome Project — which found that humans globally share 99.9 percent of their DNA — gave waste to the notion of “race” among the vast majority of scientists. But the public appears barely to have noticed. The idea still lives everywhere — in discrimination and criminal profiling, in the rise in hate speech and acts, in the recent Supreme Court decision ending affirmative action in college admissions, in the rhetoric of social justice advocates and the new capitalization of Black and White in the media. Racial categorization persists on job applications, medical forms, and most critically to Hoyt due to its high visibility, the Census.
The 63-year-old educational consultant and psychotherapist is part of a small but increasingly vocal group of people who favor phasing out racial categories. A diverse cohort of highly educated professionals and academics, they are trying to gain broader societal acceptance for their beliefs through a cottage industry of books, articles, websites, conferences and training.
Yet they recoil at the idea of being confused with people who call themselves “colorblind,” those “who are trying to deny that there is racism in the world,” Hoyt said. The government must account for harms caused by “race,” but without resorting to debunked categories that suggest it is biological, he said.
Hoyt read aloud the Census Bureau’s caveats, that “the racial categories included in the Census Questionnaire generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country, and not an attempt to define race biologically, anthropologically, or genetically.”
Uh, good luck with that.
It's nothing new. People of decency have been aware of the truth for many years that there are no distinctions.Uh, good luck with that.
Correct I have seen no evidence of a ''Gay Gene''It's coming. The US Census is used for things the government get's involved with. This will happen, slowly. Ways to address minority representation and other issues will be addressed. It's all about the 'known, unknowns.'
I've long argued people choose to ignore or deny science as there is no gene for race, no gene for sexuality...
I wonder if lg325 believes in a gay gene?
Only because of those who insist Race exists.It's nothing new. People of decency have been aware of the truth for many years that there are no distinctions.
We can take this as the OP's attempt to free him/herself from his/her personal feelings of guilt, by trying to make 'race' distiinctions into being the same thing as his/her vile feelings of superiority over others. Racism
The attempt does nothing at all in trying to say that America's endemic racism is in any way related to science's findings that have been thoroughly understood for centuries.
Why do they continuously attempt to present the lie?
Because they can't find any inner peace with the fact that they are the most vile of the racists!
Who are the they? They will identify themselves over and over again with this sort of hopeless attempt to escape the 'racist' label.
(note that lg325 reliably keeps the racism issue alive)

Actually it does.The Ivory Tower Is All Dungeon
"Color of the skin" is a straw man. Despite the media's worship of that Commie goon, MLK, races are judged on the content of their character. The genome doesn't reveal anything about intelligence and character.
