"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.
"Whatever their origins, racial classifications are not informed by prior knowledge or compelling evidence that these physical characteristics are biologically significant."

"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

Weird though he says Harry Daniels was there, he never showed Harry's thoughts on Metis citizenship?
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.
