Hat tip to Onar Am.
"There's no scientific definition of race that can be used to classify
to every individual so the statistics are worthless anyway."
Actually, the scientific definition of race (subspecies) is:
"One of two or more populations of a species living in different
subdivisions of the species' range and varying from one another by
morphological characteristics
For obvious reasons biologists are scared out of their wits of using
the term race, so they go with "population" instead. A race is a:
"well-mixed, mildly inbred population of a species."
Usually this mild inbreeding results in distinct morphological differences that makes it easy to classify the populations, and usually the different races are (or have been) separated geographically for a sufficiently long time to create distinct differences.
"And forget about "self-identification" of race."
Actually, self-identification turns out to be the most objective definition of race that extends beyond conscious species, and also escapes the element of arbitrariness of a taxonomist. The perhaps best definition of a race that can be constructed is:
"A population who sexually prefers members of their own population over other populations."
That is, if a plant with a red flower happens to like mating with other members of its species who also have a red flower (as opposed to, say, a blue flower), then very quickly this leads to self-segregationand the establishment of a genetically distinct population which has a mechanism in place to maintain (and widen) those distinctions.
Notice how this is establishment of taxonomy by self-identification/
So how does this work for humans? Well, it turns out that the match between self-identified
If you repeat the experiment with THREE categories, the match between genes and self-identification is still around 99.9%. Same if you do it for four, five or six categories. In fact, the self-identification of race matches genetics almost as well as self-identified
This self-identification translates into real-world self-segregation and sexual selection based on self-identified
This self-segregationis in fact strong evidence of the existence (and the above definition) of race. To prefer one's own race is the hallmark of the existence of race. If blacks prefer to live and mate with blacks over other populations, then that is evidence that blacks form an objectively identifiable race.
