I agree with the outrage, but I don't know that using race science to combat race science is the way to attack this horseshit. Futurism essentially says "the NYT says Asians have small hands, but what the race science actually says is that hand size is yada yada etc. etc."

Like, is race science silly or is it not? πŸ€·β€ If science said that, yes, Asian women have unusually small and "nimble" fingers, it wouldn't make a bit of difference; the entire concept is stupid and racist, not just the inaccuracy of the hand measurements. Needling over the microdifferences in index finger girth between Asians and Americans (who may well be of Asian descent themselves) is missing the whole-ass point.

As with most news source, I take them with a grain of salt. Especially when the news sources are owned by billionaires who have financial incentive to twist public media

People are just now waking up to realize a pro genocide & pro wealth disparity publication isn't moral?
