Race doesnt exist, its a social construct, I dont see color

legally colorblind, coincidentally

Criticism's of it is that race has been scientifically proven. Groups of humans will have genetic similarity and thus have similar biological, physical and mental traits. You can even simply tell by observing people of different races. Different races obviously have distinct facial features, heights etc.
>inb4 where does one race end and another begin, checkmate
Yes the edges are blurry but its the same with colours, when does red end and orange begin? cant tell? Well then colour is a social construct.

agreed.

I'll have to tell my old genetics professor that an anonymous image board poster, widely regarded as the world's greatest racial ontology theorist, has declared the case closed.

Discreet colours literally are.

Exactly. That we call one wavelength "red" and another "orange" when they are closer to one another than to some members of those categories lays bare the fact that grouping colors is a tool to ease communication. Even more so when you consider different language groups have completely uncorrelated basic color groups with the lines drawn in places useful to their environments.

That isnt the thesis of this book though

Agreed. Race as merely a skin color is a huge strawman. It affects your facial dimensions like placement of cheek bones, cranial dimensions, angle of facial slope, skeletal proportions, eye/hair color, susceptibility to diseases etc. Biologists make species distinctions between nearly identical crows but all humans are apparently 100% the same despite extreme phentotypical variance. I remember Bill Nye saying that there's no such thing as race because a white person can produce (fertile) offspring with a chinese person, but by that logic there's no difference between polar bears and grizzly bears either.
