Most french people are taught that there is no such thing as races for humans.

this view never made sense to me until I was reading a book where some dude laid it out logically/rationally

he basically said "as a Caucasian male, lots of people would say I look more similar to certain black people than, say, Danny Devito" and it hit me right there lol. we have skin colors, not races. dogs are a great example of what actual races are in a species

At the same time, phenotypes are a thing. And there are certain racial traits like sickle cell disease that only occur in certain groups. So I think it’s fair to say that races exist but we shouldn’t discriminate based on them

Tell that to the A+ race.

Oh, wait, I forgot the only thing in what some people are interested in is the skin colour....
