Forum:Razib Khan

< Index | RW Article discussion

A skeptic and expert geneticist by the name of Razib Khan believes that human races are a genetic and biological construct, we should include his opinion on the topic. Look at Khan's gene expression blog at discover magazine.^{— Unsigned, by: 70.31.152.52 / talk / contribs}

Oh, look, some fuck who doesn't even have an account, who doesn't even know how to sign his own posts, has an opinion on what "WE" should do. And what "WE" should do is to provide equal time for some obscure racist crank. Eat shit, BoN. PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?. 00:37, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

I wanted to say something but didn't know what. You nailed it. Scream!! (talk) 00:39, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Obscure racist crank

Any proof for that? That's an ad hominem.^{— Unsigned, by: 70.31.152.52 / talk / contribs}

Actually I think it was more of a simple insult. --Inquisitor (talk) 01:59, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

It's also completely wrong and has no proof. Razib Khan is a respected geneticist.^{— Unsigned, by: 70.31.152.52 / talk / contribs}

I personally don't know and don't care. It's not like there's an official, expertly-curated, international database of cranks... so demanding "proof" that someone is a crank is a bit ridiculous. It's obviously an opinion. --Inquisitor (talk) 02:07, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Then that was an ad hominem and there is no reason to NOT talk about Razib Khan in our articles 03:15, 14 October 2013 (UTC)70.31.152.52 (talk) 03:15, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

How is he notable? I see no evidence to suggest that he is. There are many PhD students out there with varying opinions. Tell me why he is special or worthy of comment. - GrantC (talk) 03:54, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

His blog is very referenced, with professors like John Hawks referencing the blog a lot, he is very notable ^{— Unsigned, by: 70.31.152.52 / talk / contribs}

No. What are his ideas that are so notable and worth referencing? --Inquisitor (talk) 05:49, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

His idea that race as a biological construct is true and important.^{— Unsigned, by: 70.31.152.52 / talk / contribs}

And this great idea has paid off in a sweet blogging gig, has it? --Inquisitor (talk) 06:03, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

A run of the mill racist? As if we need another article on another one. --Ray´s Super Fun Hellhole! ^{g͘͡r̸̀a̸̶̡n̶̶͜ţ̡ ̀҉̴̨͡m̀͘͜͢e͡ ̸͟҉̷̢ỳ̸̡̀͞ơ̡̢̡ų̧r̴̀͡͝ ̡҉҉̧̛s̵̕͏̡ǫ̀́͢ų́l̵̕҉} 14:07, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

He's about the most respectable person who the scientific racists race realists human biodiversity advocates are fans of. He himself is respectable enough to have a blog on Discover. Appears somewhat saner than many of his racist-as-fuck fans - David Gerard (talk) 19:20, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

I agree, he is respected and we cannot ignore his views because he is notable.^{— Unsigned, by: 174.95.168.162 / talk / contribs}

Well, now, do you want to account for his views in order to criticize them as being essentially bigoted and racist in nature, or do you want to account for his views in order to reinforce a biologically-deterministic story about people with darker skin than you? Lemme guess....PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?. 14:33, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

I don't think there's anything bigoted or racist about his views, Razib Khan does objective science and goes wherever the evidence takes him. If races exist, then only he'll believe in it. The facts point towards that.^{— Unsigned, by: 174.95.168.162 / talk / contribs}

Keep fucking that chicken. --Inquisitor (talk) 18:00, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm just saying the truth about Razib Khan, why don't you tell me why you think he's bigoted and racist? ^{— Unsigned, by: 174.95.168.162 / talk / contribs}

No answer, eh? I guess you guys really are operating from a pseudoscientific postion motivated by politics, not the truth and facts. Why do you even call yourself rational?^{— Unsigned, by: 174.95.168.162 / talk / contribs}

Here's an answer: please sign your posts as per the hints on your page. PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?. 02:50, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
