The Abbos are of the Indian race -

they even look like Indians.

The Indian 'race', eh?

Which Indians? Peoples of the Indian sub-continent are the most diverse people in the world in all senses of the word - hence Modi's obsession with Indian nationalism: building on the myth of one Indic people.

The Abbos are related to the Southern Indians - the really dark ones.

Southern Indians, eh! Which ones?

Who cares -
the fact remains -
the Abbos are basically Indians.

Certain DNA was inherited by certain peoples of the Indian subcontinent and by those who became Australian Aboriginals - they are both related to west-migrating hunter-gatherer sapiens over 60,000 years ago - not directly to each other.

The last glacial period began about 100,000 years ago and lasted until 25,000 years ago.
The sea levels were much lower.
At that time there was a land bridge from South East Asia all the way to Australia.
The Southern Indians migrated here along that route over 1,000s of years.
The interbred a little on the way.
They also evolved to survive the harsh, dry Australian conditions
but still - they are basically just primitive Indians who migrated here
about 60,000 years ago.
When we look at Abbos we can see what our ancestors looked like
60,000 years ago before we evolved into more complex beings capable
of modern civilisation - with buildings, cities and technology.

Aboriginal Australian DNA contains some DNA also located in the regions of Africa, India, Indonesia, Papua-New Guinea, the Philippines and Denisovan DNA.

If you are European, you will be likely more closely related to some peoples of the Indian subcontinent than Aboriginals.

Brian Ross doesn't think they are a race, he said all humans are the same, that there are no races ... yet he calls us racist if we talk about them. How can anyone be racist if there are no races?

It gets a little confusing at times

Have you ever heard Albanese speak of the Aboriginal race?

He uses the term 'the Aboriginal people', although even that is a misnomer. It presumes Aboriginals are one people which they're not.

Ah...so Han Chinese are racist.

The Han Chinese are blindingly ethno-chauvinistic.

You can see images of signs outside restaurants in China translating to 'No Black Permitted', and 'No Foreigners Permitted'.

It got so bad during the pandemic that Africans were being thrown out of their accommodation in Chinese cities, to the point where the Nigerian Ambassador publicly denounced the CCP for not putting an end to it.

If DNA has debunked the existence of race, how is it possible to use DNA to identify a person's racial ancestry?

Also, did you know that there are significant amounts of human DNA that are only present in people originating from outside of Africa?

DNA analysis places ancestors geographically, not racially.

Fun fact:

"...A DNA test has come back to haunt Pauline Hanson after the results showed she had Middle Eastern heritage....

Her genetic make up was traced back to a multicultural background, including 9 percent Middle Eastern, 32 per cent Italian, Greek or Turkish and 59 per cent from northern Europe..."

Does referring to European people as such mean Europeans are one people? Cheesy

Is she even directly related to her father, I wonder. Or was there a Nicaraguan in the woodpile next to her mother's shack back in 1953?

Whatever the case may be, whoever approaches her needs to be vaccinated against rabies.

Does it upset you Lisa that you may be part Nigerian?

The point is that there is no biological validity to "race". It's a social construct. You seem to have difficulty in comprehending. Is that wilful or innate? Roll Eyes
