Also please, could we call it "ethnicity?" Even white people can jump in the band wagon on this. There's only one race, the human race. Race is not a scientific term, it's a bullshit political term meant to create separation. I'm here to tell you that I'm brown and proud of knowing that I'm simply homosapiens and that there are no other actual scientifically distinct "breathes or races" it's just "human". If I wasn't pointed as brown all the time I would marry someone else from anywhere in the world... I did end up doing that and my kids don't look like I did when I was a baby, but they look like mommy and daddy in many different ways. You call this "look" or set of features "race" thinking like a racist that it actually means a distinct different humanoid that cannot have offspring with you or other humanoid species. But again you are wrong. Only one smart hominid species called homosapiens. Everything else is just non scientific bullshit.
Race is not a biological term but it's absolutely a sociological term, i.e. a complex social construct we've created based on superficial physical characteristics
Yes. But you know how I never tell my coworkers how I doggy style my wife? The most professional way to say that is that I love my wife very much. Maybe I could say to my wife...do you want to make love tonight...at the arts section in Walmart. The thing has a name but it's not appropriate. Race is not a scientific term. It means to describe how some people are brown or white or black and everything in between but it's wrong in all ways and means nothing since the things it refers to are simply not speciation features. So yeah, let's shout about doggy style in the middle of Walmart vs screaming "I love you"...see what reactions you get.
