>> the fact that race is a social and cultural construction rather than some genetic reality > That is an absurd claim. Indeed. Idpol/woke ideology posits one outlandish race-realist conception of race to use as a strawman in order to claim that race is but a social construct, and simultaneously advances another (implicitly race-realist) conception of race that's shallow and incoherent in order to license its moral claims.

There's a sense of the term that describes a social reality and another that describes ancestry groupings.
