@genericartdad: In a recent round of executive orders, the current administration went after the Smithsonian for teaching that race is a social construct instead of biological. This video is not meant to entertain or be twisted in support of any supreme assist arguments, but to help people understand why they’re complete bs. Pseudoscience flourishes when people wrap scientific language around non scientific beliefs. This also isn’t meant to say race is irrelevant. It’s just not biological.
Skin color is biological, our current understanding of the idea of race is sociological

easiest way to know it's a social construct, Italians were once considered POC in US

Anyone telling me race isn't a social construct, I ask them to tell me where - geographically - people start to become "white". Middle East? Turkey? Greece? Mongolia?

Case in Point: Irish were not considered White/Caucasian 100 years ago. Now they are.

And this is the thing. It doesn’t make race a nonissue it just means that social constructs have no scientific basis and anyone who tells you they do is trying to justify racism.

Race isn't a social concept and is based on DNA differences. The were other human races they were just wiped out thousands of years ago. Today's humans have almost no difference in DNA therefore they aren't different races

The continent of Africa contains more genetic diversity than any other content and contains both the tallest group of people (Dinka) and the shortest (Mbuti) but to western society they are lumped into just "black" 🙄

I tried to explain this to my dad after a debate on how "white people are responsible for all the worlds problems". I tried to explain race was a capitalist construct in order to exploit us. his reply was "that's the white in you".

I mean it’s medically relevant and medicine is a science and culturally there are differences and that’s part of anthropology which is a science.

Also the social constructs of race very often lead to different socio economic conditions that often play a very large role in overall health as opposed to the genetic markers

In Germany it's actually not recognised at all except by racists, only ethnicity/nationality or skin colour are acceptable categories. Like I had to Google what caucasian means and then got absolutely horrified that people use the term

a wise man once said "racism will and when we stop talking about it". we are all humans and literally nothing good comes from separating ourselves from others based on skin tone or nationality

red heads are more likely to need more anesthesia for medical procedures, but we don't classify them as a different race. race is social

Basically the problem is that the way “race” divides people doesnt fit the way that science would divide people. And science would divide people so much that you cant make a few classes that cover everyone

Race is a construct but it should noted that that constructs have real world implications. I’ve seen others use “race is a construct” to justify racism.

Whiteness is so ingrained in the human psyche that when we say human dna is 98.8% the same people still need entire videos to stop debating our 1.2% difference (which itself has to be further fractionated to get to group dna differences). 🤡💩…..

The fact that a tan brown-eyed brunette with wavy hair from Spain, a freckled green-eyed ginger with ringlet curls from Ireland and a pale blue-eyed blonde with straight hair from Sweden are all lumped together as one race but an epicanthic fold suddenly distinguishes two people of the same skin/hair/eye color into two completely different races is all the evidence you need to see how arbitrary the parameters of race are
