Race isn't a biological concept, but a social one, and it unfortunately has very real impacts.
It's too taboo to study. Maybe we'd be able to answer the questions if we could study it openly.
WTF are you talking about? Race is studied in every discipline.

I think this is a good example demonstrating why it becomes taboo: If you reduce cultural differences into a "good/bad" or similar simplification, then the comparison loses value, and triggers defensive responses.
Sure, not everything is clear cut good/bad, but some things are The cultural relativism mentality that suggests we cannot judge other people's actions negatively "because that's their culture" is bullshit
Yeah, we can definitely judge anyone's behavior, we just should not do it blindly and we can despite or love someone for their actions, too, like why not? I despise cheaters, but I do not care, it is their life.

This is a White America thing and it is why we are in the situation we are in as a country but people want to pretend that race and culture doesn't play any role in anything. It does. You don't need to feel bad about it. Just acknowledge that it is a thing.
It's not a White America thing to reject race as a biological concept, it's consistent with scientific study.
That's a progressive thing.

Various studies, thinking, arguments etc.
That race isn't biological isn't really up for debate, scientifically. You can believe that scientific consensus is too "woke" or has a systemic bias against the idea or whatever, but the consensus is soundly at "race is not biological".
I'm personally conservative in my political views, but I don't think that means I must reject scientific consensus.

How is race not a biological concept? All the things that differentiate race are genetic. Culture and race are not synonymous.
Biologically there is no gene that makes you "white". In recent history, Irish people weren't white.

Science still backs a genetic component for things like happiness and IQ, which unlike race is not a social construct and yet can still effect things like social behavior and cultural adaptations to the environment.
> In 2003, Phase 1 of the Human Genome Project (HGP) demonstrated that humans populating the earth today are on average 99.9% identical at the DNA level, there is no genetic basis for race, and there is more genetic variation within a race than between them.

No it's not. That's a woke lie. Race is definitely a biological concept. Sickle cell anemia for instance is heavily racially based.
Which race? Black people? Nope, Indian and Arabian people get it too.

The "asleep" lie is that "black" means anything genetically. Every trait you want to attribute to "black people" is also found in people who wouldn't qualify as "black" culturally.

This is a bit complicated and I'm going to do a bad job of explaining it.
The argument is that there are population clines, which are biological, and then those population clines are divided into races by choosing to ignore or use specific traits at a certain point along the cline. This choice isn't biological, which makes race a social construct.
The underlying population clines aren't always along the same gradient. Skin colour and physical size might be gradients that run a different way across a continent; skin colour might change north to south to north again due to sun intensity, while physical size might change based on altitude and terrain. There's no disagreement that both skin colour and size are partly biological, but the decision to use one over the other to differentiate races is social.

All the things that differentiate race are genetic, sure, but which things are used to categorize people into race is socially constructed. Why do people base racial categories on skin color but not, say, finger length or whether you can wiggle your ears? Biology can't tell you that.
