It doesn't make it invalid, but it still makes it a construct. It is like saying the parents of the first human weren't human. You're forced to propagate absurdities in an attempt to explain what we see and feel intuitively.
What I'm saying is race is an objective reality regardless of where you draw the lines or choose to not draw a line at all.
East Asians have much fewer large sudoriferous glands, so they do not have the body odor as white and black people.
It has been suggested that the genes controlling the large sudoriferous glands also determine earwax types.
Asian and black people don't tend to have much body hair either.
Caucasians are hairy and smelly.
I have heard that blondes often have a higher number of hair follicles, just the hair is very thin and vellus so you can't see it.
Black listing, blackmail. Blackout, blacklight. Black hole. BlackBerry. Black board.
All those kind of words are out. We have a lot of work to do!
What do you think the preference for lighter skin originated with? There's no logical reason for it, but seems to go back a long way.
I read that in Roman times, only class and wealth mattered, not skin color. Don't know if that's true though.
Yeah, the Blackberry cell phone. That was quite a hit back when Obama became POTUS. I remember the media rhetoric stations used to have Obama and Blackberry in the same sentence for weeks on end. Like he was a total and complete genius for utilizing one in public.
Did she make any statements either racist or plausibly seen as racist?
If not, there's no grounds for attacking her for wanting to have darker skin. It doesn't even mean she looks down on people with pasty skin color. And if the last turns out to be the case, I need a source for that one, too.
Response: Celebrities are more in tune with the Blackeye Club....................
Yup. But it makes me wonder how they cleared that earwax before civilization. I guess with sticks? Just amazes they could "evolve" something that seems so disadvantageous.
Either some thin stick or little finger.
It may not always be a "disadvantage" either if the genes determine other traits. e.g. people prefer sexual partners with less body odor.
Much of East Asia is cold and dry in winter, and people may not be able to bathe frequently.
I've been wondering about this. If you can't put on dark make-up to look like a character like tenors have done in the past to play Otello then plain old fashioned tanning might be racist too. But it's natural to get tan when you are out in the sun. Is biology racist?
Teenager who revealed her step-by-step guide to a flawless, streak-free fake tan in a viral Twitter thread admits she's been left in tears after being branded 'racist' for 'trying to be black' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/a...-fake-tan.html

The US is mostly cold and dry in winter. It's not a matter of less or more. It's matter of noticing and what is objectionable or not. In reality all other races smell more objectional.
