"Among those who study the subject, who use and accept modern scientific techniques and logic, this scientific fact is as valid and true as the fact that the earth is round and revolves around the sun."
"hearing the important news that most anthropologists reject the concept of biological races."
"Unfortunately, along with the belief in the reality of biologically based human races, racism still abounds in the United States and Western Europe. How can this be when there is so much scientific evidence against it?" -- Me- Oh I don't know when we have the Indigenous Minister
re-tweeting this false crap, 🤭 - Distorted thinking, based on distorted reality, definitely not based on scientific fact. So what is their real agenda? Race is based on a social construct. Which is fluid and "shifts" over time. "raceshifting" is absolute nonsense and does not
exist, it is a made up category to sell a book and silence a people.
Race doesn't exist, identity shifting is a normal phenomena but it doesn't sell books or whitewash a whole history of people away using "census" data .. 🤔

So no matter how much you try and say, my family is not Mi'kmaw Darryl, when they lived with the Tribe, signed treaties for the Mi'kmaw Nation, married within it, I totally beg to differ. My 8th Great Grandmother has had her name lost to history, that does not negate her presence
"Does Race Exist? | Duke University Science & Society": scienceandsociety.duke.edu/does-race-exis… "In a landmark paper based on the Human Genome Project, scientists showed that there are no “races” but a single human race ..."
"But the implications were clear; this research blurred the lines between different “races”. It proved that the traditional idea of there being several discrete races populating the earth is simply false; we are all members of the human race"
"when it comes to race, I do believe that public understanding of science may be the way to restructuring society." -- so we wonder, does this "academic" understand science or is he using his unscientific race based "raceshifting" theory in a way that does not benefit society? I
"Is Race Real? | American Scientist": americanscientist.org/article/is-rac… "the assertion, often made by sociologists, that race is a discredited scientific concept."- so if race is not real, how can one be a "raceshifter" catchy made up title, if you like fiction.
"An anthropologist who proposed using race as a serious way of describing human variability would be laughed out of the profession—not for reasons of political correctness, but because the idea displays a manifest ignorance of biology."
"Race is folk taxonomy, not science." -- "raceshifting" = NOT SCIENCE, made up BS.
"Racism in science: the taint that lingers": nature.com/articles/d4158… "the search by some scientists for measurable biological differences between ‘races’, despite decades of studies yielding no supporting evidence."
"Research has repeatedly shown that race is not a scientifically valid concept. Across the world, humans share 99.9% of their DNA. "
"raceshifting" = not a scientifically valid concept. As in there is no such thing. Identities are fluid, not static and therefore "shift" and change is a normal pattern.
cihi.ca/sites/default/… "Research suggests that organizations collecting race-based data should implement not only data standards but also measures to mitigate the risk of harm."
I am pretty sure that covers, gaslighting, doxing, online social media campaigns...
"First Nations, Métis and Inuit have a constitutionally recognized status that is unique.

RCAP 432 - Metis Circle Special Consultation - Ottawa - Harry Daniels was very specific in saying that Metie was meant for the purposes of 35 - Clearly meant and clearly stated to the Parliamentary Committee of the day. -Harry clearly stated to the federal officials to include
both halfbreed scrip takers and their descendants, conventionally called Red River Metis, and other persons of mixed blood ancestry who identify with Metis culture and history, which is localized and regionalized to adapt to the local history and culture of the region.
