#HowToArgueWithARacist is published this week, so I’m doing a little advent calendar of scientific racism. Y’know, for fun.

Let’s do another #HowToArgueWithARacist: Ludwik Hirszfeld, co-discoverer of ABO blood types, effectively the first genotype, and a major first step on the road to debunking the biological concept of race. From his autobiography, on persuading soldiers to give him blood: pic.twitter.com/boSk10JpB0
