ive heard in australia they dont consider greeks and italians white because in australia white means irish/english and nothing else
weird country
btw eli of course race techniclaly exists i work in anthropology and i can tell you race is used for medicine formulation and design anthropometry all the time
i can explain the "race doesnt exist" thing to you but you'll be extremely disappointed. Basically, aside from a group of ultra-******* scientists claiming that studying race is immoral, they claim that we should ignore traditional inheritence and ancestry in favor of behavioral clines that transcend races in a non-linear fashion. Only, since none of these clines have any relation to one another, they can't come up with a model to replace the traditional racial model, so their theory is non-functional and more for first-year college students than for people who work in the field.
But I have no problem with most people thinking that really. I think the goal is to misinform most people just to keep them from killing each other and regulate racial theory to people who specifically need it for medical research.
