You kind of make my point regarding the “science” of race. Hispanic is not a race, based on the science of race they are white.

Hispanic didn’t even exist until the 1970’s when the US census folks created the classification for “them”.

Race is not a scientific fact but racism certainly is and the left has been using it for years.

If race doesn’t exist it should not be possible to identify a persons race using genetic testing. Obviously that is not the case. In addition, Caucasians and Asians have a small percentage of Neanderthal genes that are not present in sub saharan Africans.

If race doesn’t exist, how come a forensic specialist can identify the race of an individual by just examining a skeleton, a single bone, or even a single tooth?

How come a DNA test on a spot of blood can determine what race the person who contributed the look is, or the racial admixtures of that donor?

This article is nothing more than the rehash of Critical Race Theory 101.

Did God create all these people when they were in their mother’s womb?

Yes, He created the people and the process and set it on autopilot. And He KNEW them before creating them in their mother's womb.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..." - Jeremiah 1:5

For decades now they have been saying that Blacks can’t be racist. Funny how now that examples of Black racism are seen every day, the academics want to promulgate the idea that race itself doesn’t exist.
