Should classifications be made without knowing the ethnicity of the subject?

I think it would be better if no classifications were made. Those things were naive attempts at categorizing people, we have better tools now. And it makes some people believe having a primitive trait like dolichocephaly makes you superior.

I think that classifications should first be made without knowing the ethnicity of the individual, but after a while the ethnicity should be revealed so that the classification can be refined.

this because people are biased or get influenced

when people dont know my ethnicity 99% classified me as Armenoid + East Med and when/after they know it they often say Iranid (as if my ethnicity consists only of Iranids ...in fact in my homeprovince Iranid is not all that common and I am not Iranid or only a little bit ....Iranid is on of my favorite phenotypes but because of this biased bullshitting I cant see it anymore)

they also do it with celebs often ....you can put a Greek med person and a Spanish med person who are identical but when people know their ethnicity the spaniard gets classified as Atlanto Med and the Greek as East Med ..yeah right

well happened to me too sometimes for sure ...normal to do mistakes and in the end it is just for fun and a nice hobby nothing more but it is still annoying

It would be the best way to do it this way to avoid classifications based on superstitions. For example if I were to post two basically identical people: one of Polish ethnicity and the other one German you would see how much heses classification would differ. It influences too much. It must be said that originally designed descriptions of phenotypes & elaborations were made with strong connections with actual ethnicities or regions. But it was in XIX century where many things were based on biased assumptions.

Do biases exist in pseudo-science?
