How can racism be real if race is just a social construct?

And has been scientifically proven to [b]not be connected to biology[/b] in any significant way?

and the worst thing is you think this makes you sound clever

@adorbz maybe the words sound like hybolics and smartification, but the question about what's really real deserves answers.
adorbz · 26-30, F
@Stopmakingsense the only comment on this thread he hearted is sunsporter's 😆 he is very not interested in what's real
MickRogers · 26-30, M
@adorbz Yeah because he made an accurate name out of the Democrats. I mean, its really hard to trust they have humanity's best interests at heart when they let the people of Afghanistan get murdered by the Taliban. It's hard to take anyone seriously who actually vouches for them in some way.

And by the way, if you haven't looked around, there have been more comments that agreed with the initial premise than just him. He just made an anti-Democrat comment, but the rest were legit making fun of racism.

Logic really isn't your strong suit, is it? 🤷‍♂️

@NickiHijab It's quite ironic coming from someone with that abominable of a name of the Flinstones.

@MickRogers it's not exactly my birth name, I'll survive. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts though, that's cute.

Because racists don’t care.

Even though race doesn't exist biologically speaking, it still exists in people's mind.
They are different reasons why people may choose to hate someone who doesn't look like them. Negative stereotypes, bad experiences, societal views, envy, etc..

Language is just a social construct, but all people use it. Politics, also, is found everywhere that people are found, but it's just a social construct, and so is money-. Every culture has had some version of money, even stone age people. Society is everywhere that people are, and we don't survive without it-. But it's just a social construct.
Mankind is a social animal. We may make society, but we also live in it. It's really real, like sexism, class bias, colonialism and racism.

Mick, Mick, Mick. Social constructs are real.

The social construct of race exists purely to allow racism to exist
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@newjaninev2 Intelligence lady here. She deserves best comment.

Because the demonocrats are making a fast buck out of it

People that live in low income get played against people who live in nice areas by wealthy soccer moms and religious and political con artists.

It's just like two people arguing over a seat on a bus and both of them missing their stop.

Racism is fake. Doesn't do anyone any good.
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
true racism is absolute (and actually pretty rare these days)

the social/political "racism" that you hear everyone spouting rhetoric about is selective, subjective and hypocritical
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@wildbill83 And pays damn good, too.

SteelHands · 61-69, M
@sunsporter1649 Phenotypism just sounds way too wierd and nerdy.

The phoophoo fatz distract you with gene difference commonality and in private they do the judgy with common shared genetic traits.

That's called human racism. Them not being actual humans and stuff. Lol
EmeraldOdinelle · 22-25, F
Race bacically means breed in thia case, like dogs are a race but the different kinds/types are called breeds.

Not sure why we dont call it that for humans
QueenandCrown · 41-45, F
@EmeraldOdinelle The term for people would be 'ethnicity'.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Let’s have a contest. Is there a bigger racist on SW than zonnnnuuuuussss himself?
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@jackjjackson Awwww. You so weak man. I was hoping you would call me a Nazi. 🙂
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
No can do. I prefer to keep it real. @Zonuss
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@jackjjackson You werent real enough. 🙂
Zonuss · 41-45, M
Because big you are Black it's pretty obvious that racism exists. You would have to walk in the shoes of a person of color to know how real.it is.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Zonuss And racism pays pretty good, too!

Zonuss · 41-45, M
@sunsporter1649 Yes. Maybe you should go to school for it someday. 🙂
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
Because, idiot, people still treat other people differently based on skin color and other visible differences.

@TurtlePink exactly so being cramed on a boat and in chains on the field being whipped and used as servants barley getting food for ourselves and our kids e.t.c is a social construct 😡
