One of the biggest issues in discussions about race and genetics is how smoothly people shift between the concept of a genetic population...and the racial groups they were raised to believe are biologically real.

Unstated here is that Steven Pinker actually agrees with a lot of Cofnas' views, and has written similar hereditarian things, just more politely.

Flashback to racial hereditarian Nathan Cofnas likening black and brown med students to Orangutans. Sad that this is the kind of "important" thought many think needs to have a prominent place in academia.

Populations, in a genetic sense, are not "races" in the racialist sense, no matter how much the new scientific racists try to elide the two. That's the most important thing to remember when they start in on the topic.

A lot of people who barely complained, if at all, when colleges engaged in purging people they deemed "DEI", are suddenly finding their "academic freedom" voices again now that biological racist Nathan Cofnas needs their support.

I'm still shocked when Trump fans still argue that the Trump admin isn't blatantly racist. Then when you show them clear cut examples, they are surprised and try to figure out a way to explain it away. For them racism is a vibe rather than an ideology.

Always complicated to explain, but it's as logical to describe people of the ancient world as "white" or "black" as it is to describe them as liberal or conservative.

I often tell AI models their answers are incorrect or misleading, and they typically agree and update. The problem is...the people who can authoritatively tell when an AI is wrong are few compared to those who simply trust what the model says.
