Uuuh...context matters?

Edqard Snowden has a different opinion: https://youtu.be/XEVlyP4_11M?t=30m39s

I'm not saying the physical traits you are talking about aren't real. I'm saying you're using the wrong word to describe them. Biologically there is no such thing as different human races. You are talking about ethnic groups.

If you take two people from an African country they can be genetically closer to an European or Asian person than to each other.

To quote the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article on Race (human categorization):

Modern science regards race as a social construct, an identity which is assigned based on rules made by society. While partly based on physical similarities within groups, race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning.

Funny how you replied to someone saying 'don't fantasise about dream scenarios' with a dream scenario. Just because he could die today doesn't mean you should sit it out.

Man, I really love Signal. Not only is it open source and they actually give a shit about privacy, they also don't shy away to give the finger to companies that don't. It's a shame they have to put their time into ways to stop Mocrosoft from spying, but I'm glad they're doing it.

There are no different races in humans. The sooner we stop promoting this unscientific lie, the better.

Plus basically unlimited sick days

No, sorry. Go watch any sitcom from the nineties. There is a lot of stuff in there (racism, sexism, homophobia) that would cause a shitstorm these days.

Maybe you lived in a progressive bubble back then (good for you) but as someone born in the nineties who grew up in the early 00s, I have to say, ignorance was a lot more tolerated back then, even in the 00s.

Sure, but knowing how fucked something is and actually speaking out about it are two very different things.

So it was 30 years ago. I feel like, even though things are far from perfect now, nowadays a comment like this would draw quite a few more critical looks than back then.

There are still people with a communal family PC? I thought that was a 2000s thing.
