lemme rephrase: race is an invention

oh i meant it at a base level; race is a pure invention the concept of race didn't really exist before the 17th century

ooh where'd you read about pre-17th century conceptions of race? i haven't seen that before and i'd like to

Is this like Fuentes thing lol? The complicated thing about race isn’t the weird archaic ways of understanding it in the past. The complicated thing about race is that genes express themselves in an environment you can’t neatly separate the two.

And when people say race is a social concept they mean the categorization of people is the concept not that genes don’t impact personality, no one thinks thats racist lol. It’s like color is a socially constructed, despite different wave lengths of light being real, we decide what is green, blue, purple etc.
