So how is it that DNA testing can identify races? Stop denying science!

Still seems that you are trolling me.

Per this comment from the scientific community: https://saidit.net/s/whatever/comments/8agg/i_was_having_dinner_with_a_pregnant_stripper/urgh

Genetic studies in the late 20th century refuted the existence of biogenetically distinct races, and scholars now argue that “races” are cultural interventions reflecting specific attitudes and beliefs that were imposed on different populations in the wake of western European conquests beginning in the 15th century.

There is no scientific way to determine the existence of biogenetically distinct races, especially because almost everyone is somewhat "mixed", and thus will not fit appropriately within biogenetically distinct race categories.

Ah, there's your problem. You made the assumption that there are clear boundaries between the races. This is not the case. As in most things in nature, the boundaries are fuzzy. But there are clear clusters that are identifiable by science. Ethnic Jews are a distinct group, for example.

This is 100% wokist rhetoric. Or do you not know that? Wokism specifically rejects the idea of science, objectivity, and so on as white supremacist and therefore false. This way of knowing is irreversibly contaminated; it is white, Western, Eurocentric, male, cishet. You must know this, there's no way you don't.

The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house.

This is literally the opposite of what I wrote. Now you're definitely trolling. If your reading comprehension is this bad, how can we carry on a discussion?
