<p>So I don’t know if any of you guys know this, but there is no such thing as “race”. Race is a social construct, not a biological construct. There is a larger genetic difference between a short person and a tall person than a white person and a black person. Race is what society says it is, because it is a societal concept. Society uses “race” to categorize people. The biology of race is fiction. </p>
