No it doesn’t not ‘by definition’ or by any other reason. Your arguments don’t suddenly become true just because you say ‘by definition’. You can acknowledge race as a cause, while not enshrining it as a solution. Your solution requires that we must continue to be identified by the racial categories created by historical slave owners. Not good.
