Ethnicity and genetic haplotypes are real, race is a social construct. Identifying someone as a member of a race based on their external appearance or other identifiers doesn't give insight into their genetic background; someone who you identify as 'white' or 'black' or whatever may well have mixed ancestry. Two mixed people of similar genetic backgrounds may well be lumped into different races based on other considerations like appearance and self-identification.
That may be true, but people pushing the ideology of race being a "social construct" ignore any of those factors. Their idea is that everyone is the same "we all bleed red blood". Well, yes, of course. But genetic heritability is a very strong factor- among a wide spectrum of individuals belonging to the same race. We can see it manifest in culture, IQ, and even personality characteristics. Again, its not 100%, but its very profound and palpable. The reason people get paranoid about these findings is because they compare it to "racial purity" politics pushed by the Nazis. If you admit that races are different- and sometimes profoundly so, you get a called a Nazi who wants to exterminate 6 million Jews. Ask any SJW, and they will rant on about race doesn't even exist. Its part of the globalist agenda to brainwash the minds of people to accept a 3rd world . This is why they push the concept of "climate change".
Hey there Reb. How bout just admit you are a racist and be done with it?
