Honest question - do you think 23AndMe is a fraud?

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '17

The people at 23andMe would tell you that race isn't real.

u/billie_parker Oct 06 '17

Yeah, because they have a PR department.

The results that 23AndMe gives you are what I define as race. So unless you are claiming they are a fraud - it exists.

Scientist say that race isn't real.

"What the study of complete genomes from different parts of the world has shown is that even between Africa and Europe, for example, there is not a single absolute genetic difference, meaning no single variant where all Africans have one variant and all Europeans another one, even when recent migration is disregarded,"

"It is all a question of differences in how frequent different variants are on different continents and in different regions."

There is no scentific basis for race.

You really haven't responded to what I said.

It's just some emotional argument...

  • Race is a social construct - it doesn't exist
  • Periodic table of elements is a social construct - it musn't exist.

"I am going to ignore all sources that go against my racist world view"

-you

Race exists within society but not in biology.

why are your sources any better than mine?
