    I don’t even understand how this could be construed as racist. Am I missing something?

      That’s why it’s controversial, it gets the people going…

      Even with all the disclaimers input in there with it, I 100% knew someone would say it was racist for zero logical reason, even without me saying that’s the reason it’s controversial.

      It changes absolutely nothing about how we all evolved from an (actually insanely small) population that lived in Africa very recently on an evolutionary timescale. If anything it debunks racist beliefs that there’s large divides between who left and stayed.

      But well intentioned people get mad and call me a racist, every single time.

        I did not call you racist, I was on the contrary pointing out that the only thing that can make it controversial is the wording.

        My point was, this is not a controversial take, but phrased badly it can sound like one, which is probably the reason people would end up calling you racist. Not because what you say (and especially what you mean) is racist, but because it can sound like a red flag.

        And I totally agree with the fact that the origin changes nothing to humans, or to racism, because nothing will ever prove racism to be right scientifically. I wasn’t disagreeing with you, just commenting on the “controversial” aspect.
