Does race exist?

[Roberto1223]

ok guys i took anthropology in college.

class explained that race does not exist in humans because of so much gene flow (interbreeding) within the species.

also some other things were thrown into class. right now i dont feel like posting the whole 'facts' that disprove the existance of races in the human species. i might elaborate on it later.

in the mean time, if u guys know what im talking about because youve taken that class or because you know about the topic, plz post your opinion.

note: im not racist.

but in my opinion, these things are only being taught in school to discourage racism. but from what i know races do exist in the human species even though many interbreed in present day and the genetic information varies extremely little between 'populations'.

also note that the word 'population' may be used in place of the word 'race'. if you believe that races dont exist and you dont know how to refer to these racial differences as, you may use the word 'population'.

Of course races exist!

By race, you must be referring to color? Or ethnicity?

Either way, the only race I see are a bunch of humans.

Yes, each has positive and negative points, but we're all the same species, because we can still mate and have offspring.

yes i guess they are teaching that there is no race in schools in an attempt to 'brainwash' racism out of peoples minds.


it Is true though that 'race' isnt a biologically correct term. but yea it exists.
