Would you consider Aborigines black?

[I Really Mean It]

They are obviously of African descent, but I don’t know if I’d call them black, since that term seems to be exclusively applied to ADOS.

No they’re not black.

They are not directly from Africa. And specifically did not suffer under chattel slavery.

They’re their own people.

They have about as much African descent as the people they’re actually related to: South East Asians

 

[Ozymandeas]

Yes. If our kids are still in America 20,000 years from now, would they be black still? Same thing.

Fun fact: Aboriginals and Dravidians have a lot of Denisovan blood. But Aborigines carry a lot of Neanderthal DNA as well

Those people are not Australian Aboriginals

 

[King Ming]

They are Black but not African

Nope, they are “black” Africans.

That is not debatable.

They are from Africa.

I never said they were.

But these are the closest people to aboriginals. They share common Eurasian ancestors.

Nope, they are “black” Africans.

That is not debatable.

Australian Aboriginals are more closely related to South East Asians than modern Africans. They have ancient South East Asian roots and are also related to modern Indians to much much lesser degree.

By your logic - everyone is a “black” African considering ALL humans migrated out of Africa.

This is why race as a concept is fake. You are literally using 17th century racist CAC terminology to describe complex genomic entities and distinct groups of people.

The genomes do not lie.

this is why creating an identity based on phenotypes is so stupid

look at this afghan fighter. Is he white?

 

[KamikazePilot]

Race is such a stupid concept in the first place as a person who runs on logic it makes no sense

That low key might be the dumbest shyt I have ever read on here.
