i didn’t use the word “fact” until you did but nice try there. i’ve been on here since the 90’s and don’t think i have ever been accused of intentionally stirring the pot before. I simply started out by disagreeing with your opinion (in my perspective) that race is 100%-no-questions-asked based on the variables you laid out. when i was in school getting my sociology/social psych degrees the value of the word depended on what professor i had that semester. and for a good part of them it had a lot to do with social constructs. I know you stand to your beliefs, and that’s fine, but you do recognize that a lot of highly respected individuals have a different views of the word than either of us do?
