of facts vs. opinion?
insisting that "race" must be biologically real in order for racISM to be real?
or that there is such a thing as antiwhite racism?
The first is a fundamental failure of logic generally, so no amount of facts will make any difference.
The second is disproven by the easy and common observation that people are capable of being mistaken; thus there is no requirement that one must have accurate information in order to take action...people routinely act upon false or mistaken information. If you want to get more specific than that, you're welcome to visit the appropriate thread(s) where that issue is actually the topic (done here, it would be a derail).
The third claim has already been demonstrated here, by Luna Tick, who has articulated instances of being on the receiving end of antiwhite racism. Unless you're denying his experience outright, that's already enough demonstration of the fact that there exist one or more persons on earth who subscribe to racism and behave in a racist manner against people assigned as "white."
I'm asking you to show me where and how race doesn't exist. When I ask you that, you respond like a novice, berating me by assuming I don't know the difference between facts and opinions. Since I asking you for proof as to why race doesn't exist, you should have the courtesy to provide proof to back up your claim. Otherwise I'd have to ignore you and search scholarly articles instead, since you seem incapable of proving your claim in this thread.
You probably assumed that I think that if race doesn't exist, that the hypothetical man-made construct we call "racism" cannot exist either. That would be one of your mistakes. Nowhere did I say anti-white racism does not exist. It does.
It is poor form in debate to make a claim and then, when questioned, turn around and say that person is committing a failure of logic, while also not providing even some facts. That tells me that you may not know exactly what you are talking about. You may not be able to provide evidence for your claim, seeing that you have avoided doing so over 4 times. It may be true that you have the capacity to do so, but then it becomes a lack of wisdom in you not providing facts for others to consider your calim. By using this sort of intellectually destructive behavior you spur people from listening to you, or thinking you have any credibilty. No one really wants to consider the claims of a rude person.
It's true that people are capable of making mistakes. Both of us are just two examples of this line of thought. The only thing I care about from you at this very moment is for you to provide some workable data for your claim that race does not exist. Otherwise, if you aren't able to do so, why would you respond to me in the first place in this thread. It's a sign of weakness to confront someone else's argument, and then refuse to provide the necessary scientific data that makes your argument valid. No, instead you appear as a spectacle:someone who makes a dire claim while refusing to provide data. I would treat you thew same as, say, any Birther who said Obama wasn't born in America, yet refused to offer tangible data. I have no need for that.
Nowhere did I say people can't be targetted by anti-white racism, or that it does not exist. That's irrelevant.
