    No, it is just as stupid, racist, and grounded in as much verifiable science but this is a rectangle/square conversation. Phrenology is a subsect of biological racism.

      True, but the situation described was that PoCs have an internal defect making them “lesser”, not that the shape of a person’s head can determine their abilities or characteristics.

      I have no issue with limping them together generally, but the specific situation is not phrenology.
