And how exactly is it more PC? Please enlighten us.


I'm not stating any claim to truth here, but which one sounds more pc? Caucasoids diverged from negroids 100k years ago. Or, Caucasoids diverged from negroids 2 million years ago.


You can look at the data yourself, it's not hidden.

Also, the classical meanings of terminology like "negroid" or "caucasoid" doesn't really map to genetics. My personal experience is that they're almost exclusively used by people who aren't familiar with modern understandings of human evolution. There are a lot of cranks talking about it, so it's often best to avoid archaic terminology that might get you mistakenly grouped with them.


I think accusing something of being PC implies it's not actually correct. So if you're saying one of these is more PC, that's a claim that it's less factual. Otherwise gravity is PC, 1 + 1 = 2 is PC.


Neither? It's really hard to understand how one would sound more "PC" than the other.
