Response to Himmy about racism

[Doppleganger]

And it is not an exaggeration, without exception any response you make to any person that raises concerns about immigration, is always that they are racist.

I repeat, for the third time:

Then you'll have no difficulty at all in presenting evidence to support your theory?

I suspect religion is not forgotten, but intentionally excluded.
Therefore, it is no valid argument against BAS's comment. Almost a cynical comment, rather than a substantial argument.
The UN definition does not include religion either. It does however include cultural differences and that can encompass religion.

Post #40 last night:

Article 3 states:
"Any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, ethnic or national origin or
religious intolerance motivated by racist considerations".

Hence my related questions.

As you seem to consider Wikipedia a reliable source:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race

"First introduced in the 1780s by members of the Göttingen School of History,[4] the term denoted one of three purported major races of humankind (Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid)."


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aboriginal_Australians

"Aboriginal Australians are legally defined as people who are members "of the Aboriginal race of Australia."

Having said that, I am not sure the UN does do that.
Article 3 states:
"Any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, ethnic or national origin or
religious intolerance motivated by racist considerations".

What is this Article 3 that you refer to?
Your quote does emphasis that racism can be based on religious differences.
"Any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, ethnic or national origin or
religious intolerance motivated by racist considerations".
BAS chose not to include religion, but the UN definition which I presented, included cultural differences which can encompass religion.
And your quote included religion in the classification.
How is BAS's omission relevant to the discussion?
Your use of the quote, which includes religion, invalidates your theory entirely.

Why have you listed the separate categories if they all fall under race now?
You forgot religion - surely that has nothing to do with race.

"among humans, race has no taxonomic significance by pointing out that all living humans belong to the same species, Homo sapiens," https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization)

Your socially constructed thinking of the "obvious distinction of the different races" is obsolete.
"A race is a grouping of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into categories generally viewed as distinct by society. First used to refer to speakers of a common language and then to denote national affiliations, by the 17th century the term race began to refer to physical phenotypical traits. Modern scholarship regards race as a social construct, that is, a symbolic identity created to establish some cultural meaning. While partially based on physical similarities within groups, race is not an inherent physical or biological quality.
Social conceptions and groupings of races vary over time, involving folk taxonomies that define essential types of individuals based on perceived traits. Scientists consider biological essentialism obsolete, and generally discourage racial explanations for collective differentiation in both physical and behavioral traits." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization)
