Race & Science

Race is a social construct.

Dr. Sergio Pena is known for his extensive work in neuromuscular research, and is world-renowned for his work in genetics at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, in Brazil. His research involves looking at human genetic diversity throughout the world. And he is one of many experts who claim that race is not a scientific truth.

But he also goes one step further. Dr. Pena wants to replace the old idea of race with a new way of thinking about humankind. What he proposes is a model that is based on his scientific research, and that coincidently undermines racism, xenophobia, and ethnic hate.

This guy is flat out lying. Hook him up to a lie detector test and I guarantee it will prove that he doesn't believe a word he is saying. Another white male sycophant who patronizes minority groups in order to be praised.

This guy should go in an 100% black neighborhood. if race doesn't exist he'll blend in very well :)

This clown's "arguments" are all so preposterous that this HAS to be a parody. It just fucking HAS to be.  Please somebody tell me it's so. God help us all...

[MaximusRelaximus]

Profound idiocy and ignorance masquerading as "enlightenment." This world is so fucked. They'll be telling you that rain is not wet next. And they'll repeat it often enough that the masses will all eventually believe it and begin calling anybody who doesn't "ignorant."
