A straw man if there ever was one. Insofar as anyone even says something like "race isn't real", the claim isn't that the concept doesn't exist. What would that even mean? The claim is that it isn't biologically grounded, or that it's socially constructed or some such.
- colechristensen 5y agoI don’t really see that as a straw man, there is significant cognitive dissonance where the same movement seems to be both for and against putting things into categories like “race”. Like we should all be blind to this artificial construct but also classify everybody and every thing with it and all “stay in our racial lanes”. Observe and it seems to be a real phenomenon and not just an invented opponent.
