A Radical Solution to the Race Problem.
It has become customary among philosophers and biologists to claim that folk racial classification has no biological basis. This paper attempts to debunk that view. In this paper I show that 'race', as used in current US race talk, picks out a biologically real entity. I do this by first showing tha...
