Unironically how many races/ethnicities are there in our world? I'm unironically low IQ so please help me.

>>215863504 (OP)
One race: humans.

>>215863504 (OP)
races/ethnicities aren't the same thing for starters.

White and not white.

>>215863504 (OP)
unironically they arent things that have tangible existence it's us defining things arbitrarily to break down the world into more understandable pieces. It's a social construct, it's like asking how much value there is in the world.

>>215863504 (OP)
Hard to say. For example Aboriginal Australians and Papuans are closely related and lived next to each other yet they are completely different in their culture and behaviour. Same with Europeans and Middle Easterners or as i once read with Amerindians from North and South America

wasnt int supposed to be about countries? why do we talk so much and segregate each other about assumptions of race like in prison? are you all retarded?

Old old /int/lers remember we were called /pol/ light

>>215864981
Creating countries without a clear and distinct racial/sociocultural identity is what is retarded, because it leads to divisiveness and decadence. Just look at my ancestors as an example.

Race is a spectrum

>>215863504 (OP)
Race as defined in the 1900 century is based on phenotype not genetics, europeans and asians are so close geneticly, so much in fact, it is suprising we can tell them apart. Sub sahrans are further away and posses the largest amount of genetic diversity in the human spiecies. The ones who are the furthest away most unrelated to any other humans are australian aboriginees, full blooded that is.

One Human race.

Don’t allow them to divide us coloured people

I feel like half of you fucks are unironically memeing right now.

To be fair, you can't touch DNA so there's no way to prove it actually exists. That's how this works

Race is a useful category, but it's a simplified representation of reality. There are as many races as there are groups of similar people. Specific number can vary depending on the threshold of similarity you consider as making a racial distinction between people.
