    Said the guy pretending to not understand basic terms, whether or not he agrees. (You disagreeing with those terms’ practical existence is the example)

      Mate, no. I understand the practical existence of race (well… to the extent a nonracialized person can) what I’m talking about is the expert consensus that: the matter of where the boundaries between races get drawn is determined by social factors, not biological.

      The question of whether an ethnicity was (and is) ‘white’ or not was a political question, not a biological one.
