The idea of "Race" originated from 18th century Anthropologists, who used phenotypic traits to separate people into different racial groups.

I don't feel like that means your skin color is automatically your race though, as no one refers to a population as "straight hairs," since that is a phenotypic trait as well. Skin color is an adaptive trait as well. 

Furthermore, that was also 18th century Anthropology. At that state of science, human classifications were simplified extremely. Race is a biological myth, and a social construct. 

Is it not used to help identify your race, and not inherently your race?

After taking an English class in college that discussed racial issues in African-American literature and history, we discussed two terms: Racism and Racialism. My professor (a white woman), explained the differences of these two terms to be completely different. Here is a short explanation.

Racialism, a word not often heard in everyday speech, refers to the belief in racial superiority, inferiority, and purity based on the conviction that moral and intellectual differences, like physical differences, biologically separate the races.

Racism refers to the unequal power relations that grow from the sociopolitical domination of one race by another that result in systematic discriminatory practices (segregation, domination, and persecution). 

Therefore, although anyone can be a Racialist, in order to be racist - in order to be in a position to segregate, dominate, or persecute - one has to be in a position of power as a member of the politically dominant group. 

However, while trying to do Google searches, the definitions of Racism and Racialism differ from site to site, and basically discuss that Racism is the belief in racial superiority/inferiority, and Racialism is the same except less rational. 

So I'm unsure if you'd be able to be racist towards white people, as the explanation of the two from my professor claims otherwise. 

I recently got a new job but I'm not working the same hours as I was at my previous job, so would I have to file a new claim or would I just keep certifying on the claim I opened up when I was unemployed?

Tonight I was driving around and did a sharp turn, and when I did it the whole sound system just went to the speaker I have on my driver side door, but it was really low. I disconnected my bluetooth and reconnected and it went on perfectly fine, but I did another sharp turn and it happened again? I'm not sure what the issue is.

I recently realized that I stopped eating a lot, but it’s because I’m not hungry throughout the day. I’ve noticed I been eating one meal a day, and it’s barely a full meal. 

Even when I do eat, I literally stop halfway because it’s boring and I get tired of chewing.

I’m currently 18 years-old about to turn 19 in a week, and I went from 119 (which has been the most I weighed) to 110 right now. I’m also 5’7/5’8 so I look really slim. 

But I read that it’s bad to force yourself to eat, so I’m not sure. But I’ve also been trying to gain weight. This post went everywhere I feel like but oh well. 

Thank you. 

Usually my weekly benefit amount is around $150, which would be a $300 payment every 2 weeks. However, I've noticed that every 5 days I've been getting paid $300 from 9/16 to the 21st, then 26th, and so-on. 

I'm not sure if there was another order that passed for me to be getting paid this much, but I've tried calling EDD multiple times and the automated voice message says there is no one available to answer questions.

I'm not trying to get a letter from the government saying I owe them money considering I have no idea what is going on, and I'm not sure what I should do.

I recently bleached my hair to go to a lavender, and right now the sides are still purple-ish, and it's fading to a grey in the front but blonde is coming out as well. I personally don't like it so I was planning on trying out a wine red but I'm not sure if it'll come out fine since my hair's three different color. Since it's a darker color than all 3 colors I'm assuming it'll be fine but I'm not sure. Should I wait until it all fades to at least one similar color? 

We’ve recently set up our Samsung TV Crystal UHD 8 Series, and when we press the Microphone button on the remote and say a command nothing happens.

We’ve already enabled voice command in the policies to accept, and apparently when you press the Microphone button a little microphone should appear on the TV screen, but nothing does?

Is our usage of UVerse what’s causing the problem? I’m unsure why we can’t use the voice control.

I usually shave my legs after my leg hair gets a decent length, but recently I’ve been wanting to keep my legs soft and clean so I tried shaving twice a week. I’ve done it before, and I’m not sure why I only bleed a lot after I shave when my hair is small? Are you not supposed to shave too soon after shaving already? When I shave the first time I don’t bleed, but when my hair is barely growing back and I shave again to keep it smooth I bleed a lot. Is there a way to prevent that? 

My FPS or the thing on the top right, I forgot what it's called lmao, is pretty low (lower than 100) and I associate that with lag because when it's high I lag a lot. But for some reason even when it's low it's not laggy to the point where it is when it's high, but it has small choppy lags in between each step :/ idk how to fix it. And I'm sorry I feel like I made no sense while writing this lmfao.

Hi, I’m a guy and I was wondering how often is it okay to shave your legs? The grow back process of the hair is itchy, and my hair can grow back within the next day/two days, so I was wondering if it was okay to shave twice a week to avoid the itchiness. I don’t want to damage the cuticles too much, and I’m fairly new on shaving, so if anyone has any advice on shaving as well that will be appreciated. Thank you. 

I’m not sure if they’re called razor bumps, but I recently starting shaving my legs and they come out fine — but the process where the hair starts growing is when I start getting itchy, and I’m assuming it’s because the hair has friction with the material I’m wearing (pants, underwear, etc) and it ends up leaving red marks, primarily on my thighs. 

Is there a way to prevent this or is it inevitable? Because it makes my legs look so ugly. 

Some sources say it's based off of 2018 tax returns, and I was claimed under somebody's tax returns so I would get nothing if it was.

Some say it's based off of 2019 tax returns, where I would be able to receive a check. However, my tax returns were directly deposited, but the account that I used to do the direct deposit was closed as I opened a new bank account. How would I receive the check? 

This is so random, but I took a BIO 30/Psych 30 Human Sexuality class last semester, and I just remembered this video I thought was interesting.

This may seem extremely vague and not helpful, but it took place at a college, and they discussed hookup culture. This professor lady had an assignment for her students that they had to step up out of their comfort zone and ask somebody out on a date and such. 

I bought a Macbook last month and I literally only used a few times outside my house because it constantly connects then disconnects from my wifi at home. 

I’ve tried everything that people have suggested such as:

-Disconnecting USB and Wireless Signal Devices

-Resetting NVRAM/PRAM

-Reconfiguring the DNS

-Adjusting Packet Size

-Changing Location and Renewing DHCP Lease

Now I don’t know if I did all those things correctly, but I want to say it’s a router issue, but it makes no sense that my iPhone connects perfectly fine along with my other 4 family members here and our desktop. It’s been terrible because I basically wasted $1100 so far. 

I found nice online clothing shops from Instagram and I was planning on buying from some, but I noticed MULTIPLE sell the exact same clothes with literally the same photos to advertise as others. I’m not sure if they’re scammers or if many shops just sell the same things? 

The store is Birkie.Store 

I’ve looked for online reviews for awhile but can’t find any since it takes me to a motor place, and I purchased two items almost a month ago and there hasn’t been any new email regarding the shipment of my order. All I bought was an Airpod case and a water bottle.

Majority of the time I go to sleep, I don’t even see black at all. It’s like I wasn’t even born and know nothing until the next day that I realize who I am. But websites say it’s because some don’t “remember” their dreams, but it’s as if I sometimes have none at all. It’s a weird feeling which is why I hate sleeping because I feel as if I don’t exist.

I’m learning Spanish right now, and I seen someone say “Si, me escucho” and it meaning “Yes, I’m listening.”

But isn’t listening escuchando? Wouldn’t it be “Estoy escuchando” or no ?

Recently upgraded to a new iPhone and reseted my phone in order to sell it. To start the phone all over, it asks to press the home button, but without the side-thing you can't go home. Is there anyway to start the phone process again so the buyer can use it?
