    The question is simple. This is not a debate to prove it DOES exist.

    The other thread got deleted. When i left it there was healthy debate so i can only assume it got heated. Play nicely. This could be fascinating.

    Please be grown up and no "oh my god, it just so does not exist okay and thats like oh my god just soooooo like racist to even think it does....oh my god" posts.

    We all know race exists, What kind of idiot denies that? People take issue with the fact that some think one race is better than another

    There can be no debate. Race does exist. Black people are different to White people who are different to Asian People.

    Could you give us something to get started with, KKK? A paragraph in your own words introducing the topic a little more clearly, along with the specifics of the debate you're trying to have? Because this makes **** all sense so far.

    As a post-doc researcher, I presume this won't be too much trouble?

    Race does exist, it's just race within in the home sapiens sapiens species is obsolete because we as a species are too homogeneous to seperate into racial groupings. At least in biological terms. (as outlined in the decleration on race by UNESCO 1950).

    People still use race to seperate humans into groups in a social economic way, however this is no different to seperating people into to groupings of social class.

    Stop being disingenuous. Its transparent.

    Its really rather simple. Prove race does NOT exist. If you can not prove this then race DOES exist.

    Yep it is annoying isn't it

    Where are all the race deniers when you need them?

    Can you explain what specifically you mean by race, and what the biological differences between the races you have identified actually are?

    Its hard for them to be around when they don't exist...

    But can you be more specific when you say race? Do you mean socio-economic divides? Genetic divides? Divide by amount of melanin? Race can mean different things to different people however I'd be confused by someone saying race doesn't exist as it quite obviously does. If you mean across homo sapien sapiens then no, but certainly by much more strict definition; yes of course race exists.

    Disingenuous? I honestly don't get it. Like everyone else has said, I can't prove race does not exist, because it obviously does.

    Who exactly is it that you think denies the existence of race, and what point are you trying to make?

    Of course races exists... I have only seen this "races don't exist" attitude and few times in my life, and all the time it is shot down.

    Here is an example:
    African

    White Caucasian

    Indian
