>Would you feel comfortable that you still have your job and your reputation after going in front of the nation and saying "I think interracial marriages should be illegal"?

That's not what people are getting fired for, though. People always do this- argue for speech limitations by using examples like "we should kill all the X", while the people they then ban have said things like "I think diversity decreases social trust and that there are biological differences between men and women".

Knowing it is a better thing

Competition for reproduction and resources between groups of genetically proximate organisms is the history of "life".

I wonder why the real number isn't known.

This idea that there was historical disadvantage to the Irish comes from a single photograph of a sign that says "Irish Need Not Apply". This is the equivalent of putting an individual Tweet from 2016 saying "Kill All White Men" in history textbooks as some sort of meaningful thing.

Another interesting stat- 55% of Harvard graduate students are Jewish.

Race isn't skin color, though [1].

Self-identified race maps to distinct genetic clusters with >99.8% accuracy [2].

Your statement is like claiming there is no scientific basis for family. Two people of the same race are more genetically related than half-siblings born to the same father and mothers of different races. The categories we call "race" are genetic clusters of populations who developed in different regions/environments. It's the level of taxonomy below species and above one's family. Overlap between these clusters does not invalidate them any more than the existence of purple invalidates our ability to describe something as "red" or "blue".

Our knowledge of crime rates doesn't come form arrest records, but rather victims surveys. Yes, we know that certain neighborhoods/populations have higher rates of crime and not just arrests.

Can you link the academic, journalist, politician, author, or executive who made the argument you're quoting, that slavery is good?

He was probably using the word "man" in reference to Fox's biological sex rather than gender identity.

There should be a bounty where any prisoner who solves one of the millennium problems is granted freedom. I feel like it'd help to reduce violence and focus the purposelessness of their time into something productive to both themselves and society, would be cool to see gangs replaced by people collaborating.
