    I’m thinking you weren’t burdened with an over-abundance of schooling.

        This is what we mean by “well rounded” in academia. Whiteness is a sociopolitical construct not a genetic thing.

                i just looked into it. ±230,000 years ago the first anatomical homosapiens emerged in ethiopia, and subsequently migrated in waves called the “northern” migration and the “southern” migration. no earlier evidence of homosapiens exists than this.

                    The Neanderthal and modern human lineages diverged about 550,000 years ago

                    … where? where did the neanderthal dna originate?

                    So far, we have no evidence of Neanderthal mtDNA lineages in modern humans

                    oof.

            A person can strap on a pair of fake wings and wear a tutu, running around screaming that he, or she, is a fairy princess, but it does not indeed make that person a fairy princess.

            of course not. that is, unless as a society we construct an identity “fairy princess” that is defined as strapped on fake wings, a tutu, and proclaiming oneself to be one.

              I’m fairly certain the parent commenter is either a troll and/or heavily on the spectrum and is extremely literal while armed with bad information. I’m leaning towards the former.

            No, white is a race.

            in so far as all race is a social construct, and whiteness is one of those constructs, this is true.

              And it’s an ever-shifting construct to serve the ends of the powerful. The invention of whiteness: the long history of a dangerous idea
