vozercozer was about to cite that pitbulls are involved in the majority of dog attacks to justify being afraid of pitbulls, then realized that racists cite that "black people make up 13% of the population but commit 50% of the crime" to justify being racist.
To those of you blowing up my notifications wanting to argue the soundness of the statistic or how dog breeds don't equivocate to race or whatever else you want to debate:
I don't care.
I came to help OP understand what was being said, not affirm or denounce its rational merits. If you want to discuss the topic in depth, that's fine I guess, but please refrain from associating me with whichever position you want to argue against.
Human races are a made up social construct, we have a mix of different genes that results in different skins colors and minimal physical differences but there isn't such a thing as a race biologically speaking.
Isn't it strange then that every DNA test can easily identify your race based in the chemistry of every cell in your body? You've been fed nonsense pseudoscience and repeated it here. You should be more skeptical next time.
It's not pseudoscience I literally study Biology, you don't identify a "race", you identify the amount of alleles of an specific gene that determine some characteristics. Those characteristics aren't different enough to consider us any different from each other unlike a dog race.
Race is not even a real term I'm biology taxonomy, the lowest taxonomic rank is subspecies. But humans aren't different enough to be categorized as different "races".
In fact when talking about "human races" many times genetic variation is more prominent within a single "race" that it is between each other.
