On the wrong side of history, again. When will you people ever learn?

I'm sorry, you need a button for that.

Probably because of its next-door neighbor, Saudi Arabia.

Might want to indicate that in your article next time.

Seeing as our debate has likely run its course, there is one final point I would like to make:

This study's methodology is being questioned.

But it is also arrogant for one culture to not respect the moral system of the other culture.

This debate is over. But before we part, I just want to leave you with four privileges you enjoy on a daily basis but may be unaware of:

"Some people simply don't hold anything sacred. When nothing's sacred, it is very difficult to explain why non-Natives flippantly wearing headdresses are horribly offensive. However, Native people do hold things sacred. Headdresses are one of those things." - Gyasi Ross

And please don't mischaracterize my position, again:

Sorry, don't have the time to read 163,871 articles today. A cursory glance over just the first page of entries should indicate to you that not all of these are sociological papers. For example, entry #13:

I think you may get more than you bargained for...

white supremacy (capitalist) patriarchy....

Traditional notions of racial essentialism have been abandoned by biologists and anthropologists. Race itself is not a well-defined concept, but it continues to be actively debated and researched in those fields (whether people use that specific term in their research or not). For all practical purposes then, race is

Differenting people by genetic markers is indeed more quantifiable and qualifiable than differentiating them by phenotypes, but only because we are not yet able to map genotypes onto phenotypes and vice versa. This is simply a matter of progress in biology.

The image you highlighted is about the dispersal of certain genes through time and place, not races. They are not the same and you show a critical misreading of science in sticking by that hypothesis.

By asking us not to make use of your culture's artifacts (such as headdresses), you are imposing your particular culture's notion of "significance" on the rest of us. It doesn't matter if you are forcibly preventing us from doing so or just "recommending" that we don't do it. It doesn't matter whether you were the

white heteronormative perspective

There is a similarity in kind, obviously not in degree. You are trying to impose your own cultural taboos and beliefs about what constitutes a "sacred" artifact on the population at large. There is a clear parallel to be drawn between this behavior and the desire of white colonizers to impose their own western beliefs

Again, if "populations" or "ethnic groups" is the preferred term, so be it. We all know what we're talking about.
