I thought all races were social constructs or something

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

All races are social constructs, but the degree to which they're harmful social constructs to self-ID as is variable. There are few good reasons to be angry with someone for identifying as maori or Haudenosaunee, for example. And getting mad at someone for identifying as black would be big time victim blaming and unproductive. But white? It was invented 500 years ago, Europeans already had less bad cultural identities, and it was a direct justification for many of the worst atrocities in history. And white people have garbage culture like lawns anyway.

It’s not a real race, it’s a fake race. Insulting white people isn’t a race thing.

All races are social constructs

Uh oh

But white? It was invented 500 years ago, Europeans already had less bad cultural identities, and it was a direct justification for many of the worst atrocities in history

Isn't the whole concept of "race" fairly new and with it came bad shit?
