Experts Concerned Scientific Advances Are Giving Rise to ‘Neoracism’

Questions to ask:
What differentiates ‘neoracism’ from good old-fashioned ‘racism’? Or is it another weasel-term like ‘social justice’?
What are these ‘experts’ expert in?
Are they just worried that science is undermining the blithe Crustian assumption that ‘race’ has no real meaning? If so, why is that a bad thing?
New forms of discrimination, known as “neoracism”, are taking hold in scientific research, spreading the belief that races exist and are different in terms of biology, behaviour and culture, according to anthropologists who spoke at the annual American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in Chicago.
How are these ‘new forms of discrimination’ different from previous forms of discrimination?
If science has actual evidence that ‘races exist’ and ‘are different in terms of biology, behaviour, and culture’, why are they trying to oppose it? Science is science.
