Species is one thing. Race is another thing. The comic is like, "Something about species, therefore something about race, liberals!" And it doesn't make any sense. How does that something about species tell us something about race? It doesn't.

Thanks for not insulting in your post. Does "race" apply to animals? Is there a comparable term when describing non-human animals? If not, why? Are we making artificial distinctions between animals considered human and those that are not? You call yourself "Antiracist", Why are you against making racial distinctions? Is it not obvious that Africans excel at some sports? It is also documented that certain races are predisposed to some diseases. Why could there not be other differences? Why is the topic so offensive? Do you view man as divinely created or a product of evolution? If he came from evolution and is merely an animal, how can a biological concept be offensive? Are you merely saying it is offensive, because you have been taught that? I don't hate. There are wonderful people of every race, but my motto is that honesty and truth should always trump political correctness.

Breed.

No.

Yes.
It is also documented that certain races are predisposed to some diseases. Why could there not be other differences?
There could be.
Why is the topic so offensive?
It's not.
Do you view man as divinely created or a product of evolution?
Evolution.
The topic is whether the fact of speciation in non-humans is relevant to accessing whether "race" exists within humans.
Going from, "Some things speciate" to, "Therefore humans have races," is a complete non-sequitur.

How do new species form? What's one way they can? Darwin proved it 200 years ago at the same archipelago. Geographic isolation.
Why do humans look different from one another? because they want to? Or because it's an adaptation brought on in part by....
(drumroll)
Geographic isolation.
They're not as different as you've been told in your
shareblue scriptboard of education propaganda.
