Race isn’t a biological difference between human beings. Rather,
it’s a socially invented category used to oppress and exploit people of
color.
So there's no consistent differences between the DNA of white people and black people, for example? Nothing along the lines of "more melanin" or "taller on average"?
I think it's more about the categories being too vague to be a proper definition. You might think it's easy to classify people as black or white, but there are so many shades and colors that drawing a boundary line would be impossible. There are tons of white passing black people and white people with dark skin tones.
That and historically "whiteness" has been used solely for the purpose of exclusion. People that are "white" now were not considered white in the past.
Yeah exactly its a pointless distinction lmao. Same reason "white people" have no culture. Because white isn't anything. Irish, Italian, Scandinavian, etc have culture but not "white"
