So, you guys think there is no race? I heard someone say race is a social construct and biology has nothing to do with race?

Some of the things I am reading don't make a lot of sense.

@AIQ Ha! Don't even get me started.

Seriously, someone hold me back

I don't mean to offend anyone ...

@AIQ What are you reading?

Just some random articles on discrimination and things like that ...

I have stopped already ...

If you care to share, I'd love to give my two cents on them

Of course, I have my own opinions, which some people may or may not like, but I just wanted to know if you guys agree with that ...

I'd have see your materials to comment on them

Books? Online articles?

I can't even find it sorry ...

online

Usually things written in blogs, or editorials, or magazines ...

I am looking for something written by credible sources like scholars or intellectuals

No sweat! I am just saying, "race is a social construct" itself doesn't say much. It is a statement all its own, but I'd have to see the surrounding context to know how it is used

OK I will get it to you later tomorrow ... I am prepping for an interview ...

@AIQ I would love to see the articles you read, because I always have a penchant for scholarly works

Sure. Good luck!!

I just think that some people (both left and right) are too quick to make assumptions about the other and jump to conclusions ... I really like people who talk about things like a researcher and objectively - no condescending remarks to anyone ...

Some people get angry and furious when they hear opposing views ... how about talk about things in an intellectual way and in a civil manner ...

@EddieKal Thanks!

@AIQ seconded!!!!!!

Race obviously exists at a biological level as a concept, but where we draw the lines between races and the yes/no classification of "this person is of the same/different race as that person" is indeed primarily a social construct. One that over the course of history got itself detached from any sort of biological notions.

Uh

OK
