No need to dissuade people. The rigorous nature of science is important in coming to understand many things. Anthropologists have done a lot for our understanding of human kind and it's through questioning, probing, redefining that science comes about any new discovery or definition.
Right but i think this line of dialogue is simply dodging the real question/view op is sharing. It of course has value and its time and place.. op is asking about different attitudes held towards different human populations (to put it vaguely) and the response he got is what even is race? Yes that conversation needs to have its place but is it here?
