Please submit all future complaints about my ‘racism’ to a different Canadian agency

September 15, 2010 By admin

Thank you.

“No such thing as race? Then how can population geneticists like L.L. Cavalli-Sforza calculate your ancestry from different parts of the world to the percentage point?

“How come forensic anthropologists can determine a suspect’s racial makeup from hair or semen left at the scene of a crime?”

Indeed, the Canadian Society of Forensic Sciences even provides a handy web page where crime fighters can enter the data from nine loci of DNA extracted from crime scene evidence.

Then, by comparing this individual’s DNA to racial databases provided by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the FBI, the website calculates for them the odds that the perp belonged to such racial groups as Caucasians, African-Americans, East Asians, East Indians, and “Saskatchewan Aboriginals.”

I bet that last one gets a lotta hits!
