Apparently Legion does not know what "open thread" means.
So it is a closed thread?
Race and ethnicity are social constructs which mean wildly different things to different people. There seems to be a lot of hatred surrounding each. I guess I am a white Jewish American, but I certainly not willing to kill anyone over it. If you disagree with my self identification. I really do not care.
Race?
There is only one race.
The human race.
We are ALL the same race of humans.
Calling someone a separate 'race' because they have more/less melanin or some other arbitrary physical difference is beyond nonsensical to me.
Ethnicity and Culture?
I do not know/care what my culture/ethnicity is.
Nor do I care much what anyone else's is either.

You have a point, IMO.
How do you explain this?

Indeed?
In the decision of the 2003 affirmative action case Grutter v. Bollinger, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor wrote that “The Court expects that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today.”
The interest to which she referred was diversifying the student body of American universities in terms of race.
19 years have now passed since that case, but the absurd contradictions that attend the current practice of giving special considerations to race in hiring, promotion, and recruitment show that it is long past time to make race-neutral policy the law of the land.

I 'explain' it by rejecting it.
What I said in my post is what I believe.
And I do not begin to care what 'experts' say to the contrary.
Calling someone a different 'race' for some arbitrary, physical reason is just xenophobic/racist, nonsensical bullshit.
If race is a social construct, how can anything be deemed "racist"?
Racism is a belief - not a fact or a thing.
You are racist if you judge someone to be of a separate 'race' and to judge that race negatively from whatever you deem your own 'race' to be.
I see.
