    Race is variation in human genes. If it wasn't against the current religion of equality, we'd be classifying races as different subspecies of humans.

    There is a good book which is "imagined communities" by benedic anderson. I agree with him. Nations are constructed by society.

    Every race came from the same ancestor but as billions of years gone by, we scattered over the globe, thus, evolved differently.

    It is biological. That is why some races are more prone to certain diseases and others aren't.

      @Amon2 Pff then these are the idiots who talk about "black hair" or shit like that. If race was a social construct, and not biological, then races wouldn't have certain attributes only found in those races, like Black hair, gingers, or the Asian eyes.
      But it's GAG, what else do you expect? -_-

      The argument I've heard is that those are merely differences in appearance - or phenotypic variance - and not relevant to discussion of race. It's not something I've done a ton of a research on since I only had to take two biology classes and don't care much, but most geneticists, especially outside the West, acknowledge race as biological. Anthropologist mostly say it's social, but they're not actual scientists and don't know anything.
