Race is a social construct,


DNA is not a damn social construct.

DNA shows how arbitrary race really is. We focus on a few insignificant superficial differences and classify people that way but if you look at overall DNA differences they do not correlate with race at all.

In many ways, genetics makes a mockery of race. The characteristics of normal human variation we use to determine broad social categories of racesuch as black, Asian, or whiteare mostly things like skin color, morphological features, or hair texture, and those are all biologically encoded.

But when we look at the full genomes from people all over the world, those differences represent a tiny fraction of the differences between people. There is, for instance, more genetic diversity within Africa than in the rest of the world put together. If you take someone from Ethiopia and someone from the Sudan, they are more likely to be more genetically different from each other than either one of those people is to anyone else on the planet!
