[QUOTE]Originally posted by Badumtish: [QB] [QUOTE]Badumtish spends his whole life talking about "racism" or race on webforums:[/QUOTE]ROFL, "my whole life". You really need to rein in your hyperbole. I've had an interest in 'race' for about a year and occasionally read online journal articles on the topic; in contrast, you've spent who knows how much money on 19th and 20th century textbooks over the course of several years. Stop with this psychological projection. [QUOTE]http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?p=42049558&highlight= Posts made two day ago, where he claims races don't exist. So if they don't exist, why spend many hours online each day talking about them?[/QUOTE]I do not spend "hours online each day talking about them". WTF are you talking about? I can't stop laughing. They are social realities in the same way caste and witchcraft are social realities. Equally, atheists spend their time debating religious topics. [QUOTE]I've also repeatedly exposed how Badumtish doesn't universally apply his logic.[/QUOTE]No, you haven't. You make a few posts that I refute then stop responding, only to repeat the cycle in a new thread. [QUOTE]Since he believes race "is dangerous to society" he will only deny race by using certain arguments, but which he never applies elsewhere.[/QUOTE]Where did I say that? [QUOTE]Key example: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/search.php?do=finduser&u=527097 Here he calls someone "middle-aged". But that's not a discrete category. Is middle here 50? 40? 42?[/QUOTE]~40-45 is middle-aged, in my arbitrary opinion. When you can find a post where I say middle-age is an objective concept you have a basis to your claim that I don't apply my logic equally. [QUOTE]Note though that he doesn't say age categorization is a social construct.[/QUOTE]Age categorisation is a social construct. :) I'm not sure why you believe acknowledging this and making use of the social construct are incompossible. It [i]is[/i] possible to say "this room is warm" whilst acknowledging it is just your personal opinion. We've already had a discussion where I've explicitly stated this. Out of interest, what do you believe I mean when I say something is a social construct? [QUOTE]He only selectively applies his "social construct" argument you see. 2 or so months ago he claimed a person in a photo has "long hair". What is "long hair"? 20. 22cm 50cm 1m? 1. 3455 ? Yet he has no problem with claiming this and doesn't claim it is a social construct.[/QUOTE]There is no such objective thing as 'long hair', as the classification criteria are arbitrary. In my arbitrary opinion, however, I would call certain things 'long'. :D You're sounding desperate. I'm having trouble believing anyone, even you, is this obtuse, so I'm presuming you're being wilfully ignorant. Or maybe your autism is causing you to infer that every time I use a descriptor/adjective I am claiming that descriptor/adjective is objective/existent. You would be wrong to infer this. I also find it strange that you apply my argument against me in order to undermine (what you wrongly believe are) my claims that certain things are objective, yet refuse to acknowledge the validity of that same argument when I apply it against you. If my argument were false you would not try to use it against me to refute claims (that I never made) of something being objective. [/QB][/QUOTE]
