    The first thing a "scientific" mind would learn is that race is a social construct.

    Based purely on scientific methodology

    I'll try to get you some more sources. In the meantime I felt that I should point out that scientific methodology proscribes that one does not rely on a presumption of the outcome but the data derived from controlled experiment. So your statement is inaccurate.

    An examination of racism would require a scientific methodology, especially if it strives with "the conviction that the process be objective to reduce biased interpretations"* of historical background and present conditions of a racist discourse.

    But the social construction of racism only uses a scientific terminology while telling lies. A racist justification cannot employ an inquiring method, since it is predetermined to choose a side, story, and conclusion.

    Scientific terminology and tools used by racist discourses, such as eugenics, are only one part of construction process.

    Trying to affect the outcome is exactly what you are doing by suggesting that it is necessary to 'make friends' with those under scientific scrutiny.

    Bigotry has nothing to do with this discussion.

    It seems as though you are having a hard time separating emotional issues from scientific work.

    Um no... the study involved putting people in different situations, observing them, and asking them questions. I don't know what the heck you're talking about.

    I don't really consider sociology or psychology to be true sciences. However, it is possible to perform careful studies and observe behavior.

    Not at all actually. But thanks for your concern.

    If all people follow the principles of humanism and pacifism there will be no racism left . Focusing on the real and truthful education is the main key to success int his field .
