As rogan pointed out, this problem disappears if you look from a genetical point of you.
now the two races become for example, "black-gene" and "white-gene" race, with cutoff at say 4.
There is no more paradox from the mathematical point of view, and this is actually what they do in some fields( seldom for skin colour though).
the only problem with this is some "black gene" people are white and vice-versa, which is what you are saying in another way, so its not very workable for a day-to-day point of view, which is what the conclusion to this thread should be.
YES THERE ARE WAYS FOR SCIENTISTS TO DEFINE RACES, AND SOME DO USE THESE DEFINITIONS FOR VERY SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS, BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOU WOULD THINK A RACE IS, AND YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TELL A PERSON'S RACE BY LOOKING AT IT. |
Looking at it from the perspective of skin color genes only is EXACTLY THE SAME AS LOOKING AT SKIN COLOR ITSELF!
Except for the fact that you can generally tell skin color at a glance, whereas you have to test their DNA using your method
