AnalPhilosopher

“[I]t is ambition enough to be employed as an under-labourer in clearing the ground a little,
and removing some of the rubbish that lies in the way to knowledge.” —John Locke, 1689

“[P]hilosophy can no more show a man what he should attach importance to
than geometry can show a man where he should stand.” —Peter Winch, 1968

A Fallacy

The editors of The New York Times infer from the fact that there are no pure races that there are no races. See here. That's like saying that because no word meanings are perfectly clear, there are no word meanings. Genetic tests don't show that there are no races. They show that race is a vague concept, like baldness.
