Race is a spectrum

Race is a spectrum, and sex is a binary…one of the few binaries found in biology. People have it backwards.

If a black person and a white person have babies, you get a biracial baby. Then if that baby has babies with an Asian, you get a triracial (sp?) baby. This goes on indefinitely.

This is not the case with sex. If a man and a woman have sex, you get a male or female baby, with few exceptions (like genetic mutations that result in both male and female genitalia, and these people typically cannot procreate during adulthood). But if two men or two women have sex, it isn’t like you have a trans baby.

It’s funny because if a Mexican “identifies” as a Jew, they’re called racist, but if a man identifies as a woman, it’s totally cool. Even though Jewish Mexicans are absolutely a thing, but men will always be men.

@Father2 That’s a fair point—perhaps my wording wasn’t the best—but I think it proves my point further. “Races” are pretty arbitrary, manmade categories. We tend to associate black skin with Africa, which is why we call people with south and Central African heritage “black.” But technically people like you or even Egyptian-Americans are still “African-American.”

Per Jesse Jackson, who invented the term “African-American”, only Black people whose ancestors were slaves in America are “African-American”.

Any person who moves from Africa to America today is NOT an “African-American”.

@Diotrephes What would you call those people then?

What would you call those people then?

Egyptian-American, Somalian-American, South African-American, etc.

@RopinTexan it's funny how even after the discovery of DNA debunked the concept that race is biological, people still hold on to that belief, especially the left
