amazing how much shittier it is to be in the rat community now that the racists won. before at least they were kinda coy about it and pretended to still have remotely good values instead of it all being yarvinslop.

it would be nice to be able to ever invite rat friends to anything but half the time when I’ve done this in the last year they try selling people they just met on scientific racism!
Scientific racism doesn’t exist.
Racism is unscientific, it is purely emotional and not based on reality or statistics if you dig deep enough.
You can call it scientific-sounding racism though.
Pseudo-scientific racim.
Honestly that just seems to imply the concept of legitimate scientific racism even more.

The point is that you are still calling it out as racism, a term racists very much don’t like. Meaning, the “racism” is the important part in “scientific racism”, because it unequivocally tells us that the science in question is shit.
The actual euphemism for sciency racism is human biodiversity studies.
I mean yes you are right but “scientific racism” and “race science” etc. are real phrases that are useful to describe and discuss particular racist ideas.
I call it: “scientific” racism. To me that gets the point across the best.
