    Phrenology is bullshit. Race has been shown to correlate with political leaning several times and it’s encoded as facial attribute.

      Absolutely not, social status yes, but oppression of a race, doesn’t mean the race has a tendency, only that they are pressured into a social status that has that tendency.

        You’re the one bringing oppression and phrenology, that’s not what the study is about.

      It turns out that people in similar situations want similar things from their governments. It also turns out that a history of oppression based on race tends to put people from that race into a similar situation. And so on.

      The correlation isn’t coming from anything specific to the face, but clues about what demographic that individual could be from.
