The problem with such conversations is that race is a social construct. It has no scientific basis. When someone wants to talk about the hard facts of race, that alone should send up a red flag. There's nothing brave about giving lip service to the self-serving myths of a privileged class.

I think these oh-so-vital conversations about race are just a way of dodging the far more difficult conversation about racism. We get into these silly discussions about racial stereotypes, about which ethnicity is prejudiced against whom, about in groups and out groups and bigotry, when all that misses the point. The whole point of dividing humanity into separate races is to justify the privilege of one supposed race over another. This has always been the point of racism.
