“Race” is a pretty recent construct, based on evolutionary/Darwinist assumptions.

It is true that the people groups tend to look alike, but that is more because they adapted to their locales, not because they are “more evolved” or “closer to gorillas” (as Darwin stated).

And, of course, these groups all developed their common cultures as well,
so there is a correlation between a people’s phenotype and their culture,

but it isn’t a “causation”.

Just because you have a certain skin color or eye shape does not predetermine your culture.

Well then, people just flee black culture/correlation. What ever. It’s effective tactic in a mobile country.

In some ways the negation of genetics in behavior, which I full agree, is even more damning.

Of course race exsits, it is not a ‘social construct’ at all. Which is why you can determine someones race from DNA. Race is correlated with lots of things, size, athleticism, intelligence, hereditary disease, propensity to violence.

As for “Darwinism” - well according to most scientists the races seperated at least 100,000 years ago, which is 1/2 a million generations of genetic drift. It has nothing to do with gorillas. Look at the difference between a rottweiler and a poodle.

Same species, but you can’t claim that there is no inherent difference between those two breeds. And that is far fewer generations than human races.

Saying things like “race is merely a social construct” is just more liberal non-sense. It’s just another ridiculous meme that they trot out when it suits them, but don’t really believe themselves. (Else why the endless programs for some races and not others?)
