Is that a race joke?

From what i hear they dont turn left, the cars are set up to do that for them. But they do turn right on the straight bits
"Turn left"
"Keep turning left"
"Go straight a little bit"
"Then turn left again"

Yes, it's a racist joke.

Sooner or later but coming sooner to the US is the time when the only answer will be that someone is a member of the human race.

Humanity is a species, not a race. The human species is further divided into races, as per physical anthropology.

That is false. There is no scientific consensus that human beings are divided as a race. Even anthropological organizations have recognized that physical differentiation is not a standard to classify human beings by race. DNA differentiation is not enough to distinguish populations by race because ethnic and linguistic groups show as much differentiation among their own members as opposed to those of another so called race. The term "race" is an outdated colonial concept.

The left is so they can spit their tobacco out the window without having it flying back into their faces.

It is very much real and any person in the field of anthropology can tell you as much. You can literally tell someone's race just by analyzing their bits of their remains.

It's not controversial and it's not a bad thing. It's reality.

No. Race doesn't exist. The current consensus in cultural anthropology is that there is a greater variety within a certain cultural group, DNA group, than exists among so called, archaic, racial identifications.

No. It's not real. Why do you wish it to be real? Do you desire arbitrary and archaic racial identities historically defined by hatred to identify others to keep being an identifying factor?

I don't think so.
