If sex does not dictate gender, why would skin color dictate race?

Well, I’d personally be willing to consider it if it had solid scientific research behind it like the previous subject does. Of course, that likely won’t happen anytime soon since that would imply that one’s phenotype might actually carry inherent psychological or physiological differences; a notion that many modern Egalitarians bafflingly refuse to even discuss, much less research. Far better for the whole to unite in ignoring any data unsuited to the cause than to actually discover and work around reality.

I legitimately still don't know the difference between sex and gender and I don't really care

They are mixed race.
Race is not regarded as 'single-answer' - it's multi-response. You can be more than one.

Korben Dallas in the Fifth Element was in his apartment when the police were looking for him. He was ordered to put his hand on the yellow marks and state his race. Korben Dallas said- "Meat popsicle", the coppers didn't bat an eye.


The answer to-

is obviously "Oreo cookie" or whatever smart ass answer anyone can think of.

By this logic, are all albinos Caucasian?

What if you have that disease where all your hair falls out. Are you now a snake?

Sex is what you physically are. If you're born with a penis, your sex is male. Gender is more what traits and qualities you have, and in how you identify yourself. Are you more feminine, or masculine? If you identify more as a female, have more female or feminine qualities, then your gender is probably female, regardless of what your sex is.

I know you said you don't care, but I don't care that you don't care. And those two not carings cancel each other out, and thus we all now care. It's simple mathematics.



On topic:
There is no such thing as TransRacial. As ny2 pointed out, we're all mixed race anyway. Also, skin color doesn't dictate race. There are African-Americans with such light-colored skin that they look more like Hispanics. There are some Hispanics that are so dark-skinned that they look like African Americans. Skin color doesn't really matter in race, it is, as nietzsche said, about genetics. Skin color is usually a good indicator of someone's race, and that is how police can be racist. They see a dark-skinned person, and immediately make assumptions. And that's pretty much the definition of racism.

It doesn't, as any race can have members with Albinism. Yet they remain a part of the same race as their parents.

And does it really matter? Because no one really uses the precise definitions of words anymore and many words (such as sex) have overlapping meanings.

Here is an example: You see a question: "Sex?"

Is the proper range of answers "male/female" or "yes/no" ?

In some languages a tree is masculine and a chair is feminine. Really, what's so manly about a tree and so girly about a chair?

So even gender is one confusing mess of conflicting nonsense.

I would argue to some extent yes. Our sexual customs have allways been different in variation over time and culture. So i guess social life, society influence it to some extent... but sexuality in the sense of creating more annoying little brats :) isnt a construct its an instinct. But HOW we do it, toys, partners etc is to some extent... hope u get what i mean really feeling that english is my second language now:)
