> How would race not be a biological reality Imagine a world where people's sociaal standing was decided by the colour of their hair and we called this their "hace." Fashions, types of jobs, ways of talking, political views, would all be deeply impacted by your hace. It would be hard for us to imagine living without paying attention to someone's hace because it had been such a huge thing in society for so long. We would even point to biology and say that hace wasn't a cultural thing, there really were biological reasons why one person's hair colour was different from another, how could hace not be biological reality? We live in a world where we do all of this with people's skin colour and we call it race. The colouring has a biological basis but the concept of "race" as a dividing line between peoples is a cultural one.
