I agree with the outrage, but I don't know that using race science to combat race science is the way to attack this horseshit. Futurism essentially says "the NYT says Asians have small hands, but what the race science actually says is that hand size is yada yada etc. etc."

Like, is race science silly or is it not? πŸ€·β€ If science said that, yes, Asian women have unusually small and "nimble" fingers, it wouldn't make a bit of difference; the entire concept is stupid and racist, not just the inaccuracy of the hand measurements. Needling over the microdifferences in index finger girth between Asians and Americans (who may well be of Asian descent themselves) is missing the whole-ass point.

As with most news source, I take them with a grain of salt. Especially when the news sources are owned by billionaires who have financial incentive to twist public media

Okay but what about the Japanese people that have long torsos but very thick muscular short legs? I've noticed that in both men and women. Its counterintuitive for karate for example. Short legs don't help for high kicks and such. Bicycles would be awesome with short powerful legs though. Key cars would fit fine. Anyway its just a stereotype. I don't think all Japanese people have that body shape. I don't think the small hand thing actually helps. Its probably more like the people working tend to be kids maybe? And they want to cover it up or justify it somehow?
