Reply #100: "In all academic studies of race." [View All]

[Occam Bandage]

First, there are no academic studies of race. "Race" is an outmoded concept that has been abandoned a half-century ago. It now exists purely as a sociological construct, not as a scientific classification.

Second, the word "Negro" has not been in common use in African studies in decades. It's simply useless; there are far, far too many ethnolinguistic groups for that word to have any common meaning. He's exposing his ignorance of modern ethnology, not demonstrating his competence. (And to claim that any "science" is involved smacks of Victorian eugenics, not modern anthropology).
