138	138	None of this is to deny the *social* reality of race – of course, cultural notions of race have changed and often been misused. But biologically, race is not a myth. As one geneticist wrote, “the genome challenges the social construction of race” by showing that genetic clusters consistent with racial classifications do indeed exist.{{footnote}}Anonymous, "Race is biologically non-existent — I’m not making it up," *Tumblr Blog*, 2014.

Embracing this understanding, while rejecting racist prejudices, leads to a more honest and useful discourse. The biological concept of race, properly defined and contextualized, remains a robust framework in human biology and medicine, supported by countless empirical findings. Far from being “disproven,” the existence of human races is continually reinforced by modern research across genetics, anthropology, and epidemiology.

141		-\\By this standard everything is a social construct, oh you call your bone/meat things connected to your arms "hands", contrary to "hooves" or "paws", not like you can see any difference between them now can you? they are just social constructs you see an actual social construct are things like philosophy, mathematics, religion, the concept of value in worthless paper money etc names for real things are made up by humans ofc, it's not like some god came down and gave us the actual metaphysical "real" name for these things all taxonomical classifications is made up, hopefully to convey some meaning as all words of value do if the words are not used to differentiate between things then what use are they? the fact that you can tell differences in groups based solely on their physical traits already fits into taxonomy, you do understand that at the time of Carl von Linné taxonomy was done by eye only? right? the small differences used to claim different birds or what have you are different species or subspecies was entirely done by differentiating physical differences like colors or feather/fur length (not even bone structure) Race is real, it can easily be discerned even by children your kind like to play word games making a jumble out of everything in hopes of confusing reality to such an extent that nothing makes sense anymore
