Even though it’s complete pseudo-science, the state still promotes “race science” too. There’s no such thing as a caucasian, white hispanic, etc. smh. This is largely why racism persists. The state was founded by slavers who embedded it deep into their pact.
It may be bred into them in the original sense of Dawkins and Blackmore’s “meme,” although I’m not sure how much credence that theory still holds.
I wish the world used a better term for it than “race science” since there’s nothing scientific about our socially-defined racial categories. Like, “debunked racist pseudoscience” would be a much better descriptor.
It’s as scientific as religious extremism where people say the Earth is 5,000 years old and evolution doesn’t exist. We don’t use “faith science” when talking about people who don’t believe in geology or biology. We call them “fucking morons” and stop listening to them.
Racist pseudoscience

He founded AdultFriendFunder apparently
I like that they used “dating site” as the euphemism for AdultFriendFinder instead of “escort service” or “one night stand site” or whatever it actually is.
“spambot ranch”
He founded AdultFriendFunder apparently
Was that the one that turned out to actually be a big scam and everyone on it was a man?
I recall that, it was either this one or Ashley Madison. Presumably both
Yeah, with a name like that, I’d think “sausage party.”
trying so hard to find the differences, but we still all bleed red.
His name didn’t come up in the article, but I would not be at all surprised if Peter Thiel is funding this sort of thing as well.
Racists gonna race.
