    • ...Ugh, not really... You do know that the vast majority of people over the age of 3 would have never heard of "Reading Rainbow" other then by being fans of TNG, right? It's literally a PBS show... how moronic do you have to be to be watching PBS last age 7? Like, Nickelodeon existed. And, you know, CBS. By the time you're 8 you are just a "little" to old to have some man reading books to you?? Especially children's books when you are already reading Goosebumps and Narnia and BFG???

But there are definitely racial populations in homogenous regions (e.g. Japan, Korea), where the social constructs around ethnicity discourage interracial marriage. None of this means that we should ignore how intermarried we all are, or ever revisit the terrible Victorian scientific racism around racial intelligence. But its silly to dismiss things like Sickle cell, celiac, aldehyde alcohol intolerance, malaria resistance, etc. which obviously have racial genetic components. Not just socioeconomic ones.
