Racist cashier at Lidl

Original post by FlavaFavourFruit

What do you mean you can't believe racism still exists? Of course it does and I don't see it going anywhere in this country let alone in the world in decades....

And Muslim isn't a race.......but apparently it is..... :ninja:

Sad but true.

Lulwut?

SO white people, black people, Asians, etc don't exist?

It's all explained in the original post. Try reading it and deploying your brain for more than 5 seconds - it might just start to fit into place.

"People look a bit different depending on their origins"

Here you concede the point that races exist. That is what a race is.

Definitions of race:

A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.
2. A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution:the German race.
3. A genealogical line; a lineage.
4. Humans considered as a group.
5. Biology

You cannot be a human unless part of one of the above definitions.

So, your argument is literally that the humans don't exist.

Biologically, races exist, but socially, they shouldn't :smile:

Also, if any thing, most Asian people are in fact Caucasian

Still can't believe racism exists.

Any unmoderated platform where people are granted anonymity would show you just how rife racism is.

But that just makes no sense.

How could you say that, say, black people were being discriminated if you don't recognise them as a separate entity to be discriminated against? It would be semantically impossible to say that any racial group was being marginalized.

As soon as you remove the linguistic boarders between sets X,Y,Z, and put them into set H with no further distinctions, then nobody can become discriminated against because of their group; say you are a member of H, being discriminated against racially requires a member outside of the racially discriminated group. So, it follows that if everybody was H, then if some people were being discriminated against due to their racial group, then they would be be discriminated against because of their group, and not be discriminated against because for their group at the same time, because H is both being discriminated against and not being discriminated against simultaneously

Therefore, it is necessary to recognise peoples racial groups in language, otherwise they concept of racial discrimination become absurd.

Almost right. Race does not exist biologically, it exists socially, but it shouldn't!

Common sense would dictate that she's not Muslim!

Maybe she just had enough of Lidl and deliberately tried to get herself fired. Conspiracies, conspiracies.

You do not understand the concept of race then.

Racial groupings are an attempt to provide scientific criteria for classifying individual human differences into genetic subspecies. I can happily observe that someone has black-coloured skin, that doesn't mean I'll group him in with other people vaguely visibly similar into some sort of Negroid racial group. That is absurd.

All black people (unless they're albinos) have black skin, white people have white skin etc.

How is this not "scientific criteria for classifying individual human differences into genetic subspecies".

I don't understand how you can reject biological differences between, if not races, cultural and biological sub groups of people.

Biological differences between cultural subgroups of people? I've genuinely never heard a more laughable load of nonsense.

As for biological differences between biological subgroups of people, I'd be happy to accept them - if these biological subgroups existed. They don't. You've simply created a tautology.
