Still much better than a morality revolving around omniscient ghosts and untenable metaphysics. Religious moralities, probably plagiarized, are as pag...

I guess I’m wondering how you can construe that to mean me believing that calling someone a racist is racist. As for “subscribe to the racist worldvie...

The disputation is the point of it for me. The best insights are found in the sparks from the clash of ideas. Your moderation is well-intended but unw...

Well, the first sentence is false. I have never stated such a thing. Not a great start. The rest of your misapprehensions arise from this misapprehens...

Not once have I conflated the mere mention of race with the weaponizing of race. Rather it is you who abuses the false demarcation of the color line, ...

How did I single myself out as racist according to my definition? I haven't once professed any belief that there are distinct biological races. In fac...

Then I’ll take credit.

I don’t doubt the frequency of usage. We also shouldn’t deny that it defined in various ways in different fields. I’m only suggesting that the definin...

If one is not his body, what is he? Who or what is this little being that possesses this body? I worry this little being might be parasitic. Perhaps t...

Sex is not an identity nor a lie. The body is an identity, his only identity, the living organism itself as it exists in the world. How the body goes ...

Sex is a lie about sex? I’m not convinced here, and it appears to me the argument against the use of sex to describe things in the world is mere quibb...

Sure, the term sex is very general in its application, but it is accurate; it describes the world, the relations and the things within it. In the same...

Sex doesn’t pertain to just people, but to plants and animals as well. Perhaps they identify as something else but the facts remain nonetheless: two d...

There are more around 37.2 trillion cells in the human body. Perhaps we just don’t have the time.

You didn’t, actually. Whether describing biological states refers to sex or not does not entail a certain biological state is not of a certain sex. Se...

The distinction is biological and no amount of verbal hand-waving can alter that. The description of bodies changes but the body remains the same. Peo...

That’s fair. I suppose you’d hate an ethnicity, not a race. I’m not sure of the correct term in that case.

I’m working too (or at least should be) A man of European ancestry could be born and raised in China, complete with the socio-linguistic and cultural ...

Sex more describes biological facts about mammals and reproduction than setting an identity for human beings. So I think the denial of these distincti...

Yes, people use the term race all the time. I would call you racist because you assume a group of people called “latinos” exist and that you hate them...

It relevant because you’re assuming race when there is none. You say a belief in race is neither necessary nor sufficient then go on to say people are...

That’s right. There is no Asian race. Have a cookie. Do you believe there are distinct biological groups called “races”?

Oh, is this another game you’re trying to play?

First, there are no biological races, but an example might be the conflation between Arabs and Islam.

So is the Asian race more Chinese or Indian? More Persian or Malay? More Iraqi or Indonesian?

Differing cultures and customs and language is more ethnicity than race, so I wouldn’t call someone a racist for distinguishing between ethnicities, t...

Since you won’t answer I’ll assume you do believe Asians are a biologically distinct group of people. Correct me if I’m wrong. It’s racist because it ...

I’ve been kind enough to answer your questions. I wonder if you will offer the same kindness. Do you believe there is a biologically distinct group of...

Do you belief there is a biologically distinct group of people called Asians?

Except I’ve defined my terms to you countless times, and you jumped on the one time I neglected to differentiate between the race “Asians” and the peo...

You refused my clarification. Hung by your own bad faith.

Yes, people from Asia exist.

No, I’m saying there is no biologically distinct group of people called Asians.

To clarify, I don’t believe there is a biological group of people called Asians.

That’s the point. The differences are not as clear as we often make them out to be. Freckles, for instance, are present on all shades of skin, not jus...

Yes, I would be picking out people from Asia when I use that term.

Asian is an adjective describing people from Asia. But no I do not believe there is a group of people called “Asians”.

I am not. I’m a content of character kind of guy.

Well said. The deliberate erosion of language is, in my mind, a ploy in the service of megalomania.

I no longer use the term gender, personally, but believe anyone can express themselves how they want, using whatever terms they want. I do not think s...

A Wells reference? I love it. If there is a clear difference, what color on the human spectrum constitutes the dividing line between them? In other wo...

They are both racist because they both subscribe to the racist worldview. My contention is one cannot hate Asians unless he believes such a distinct g...

Again your misrepresentation of my definition is wrong. According to my definition that person is not racist.

Sorry I am not sure what you want exactly.

Yes, as I proposed, a racist is one who believe there are racists. This ideology or worldview, upon which all devaluing and valuing is built, is menta...

It doesn’t invalidate anything. It just shows what type of person you are.

“Oh no, a forum post escalated to a worse forum post!”

Yes, that is clear from what I wrote. What is not clear from what I wrote is your misrepresentation that using the term “race” is racist, which seemed...

It’s also the case that trans talk has escalated in the opposite direction outside of the thread, to the point that biological males can now participa...
