"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
suggest that his very misleading witch trial on "raceshifting" -- needs closer scrutiny cause it does not pass the smell test, it is not based on scientific facts and I suggest it does real harm as it mentions in the article when we keep on suggesting that there are racial
categories, that race is a real concept than we run the risk of a real problem when racism is already a problem and "implicit assumptions about race can contribute to misdiagnoses at hospitals, or over/under-prescription at pharmacies." We do not want to support and "make
possible the manifestations of “societal race", for many many reasons, all of which are harmful when we have certain people making assumptions about others wrongly based on race. Can very seriously affect treatment options at hospitals, care based facilities etc .

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 Image

"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.

I am pretty sure that covers, gaslighting, doxing, online social media campaigns...

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.
