We can go on if you want:

What does the haircolour of a person tell you?
What does the birth date of a person tell you?
What does the eye colour of a person tell you?
What does the birthplace of a person tell you

Heck, what doe the NAME of a person tell you?

Stop avoiding the question, what is the characteristics of the black race?

That the person is BLACK? It's a certain skin pigmentation...a different body structure as well.

They're the same race yet are completly different in pigment, so how does that apply and wtf is fully black?

She has a white mother. He doesn't.

But besides that, It's not about looking exactly the same. But looking similar.

Chinese is a nationality, and they'll agree because it's a social construct.

No, they'll agree because it's ok to agree, it's accepted to agree and it does nobody any harm because it's said with a clear intent and that intent is hardly ever harmful.

It just happens to also be a social construct. You put the cart before the horse.

I can guarantee that they won't stand there thinking "Hmm, this is incorrect, but it's a social construct so I better say I am."

Who's they, everyone thinks it's okay, I didn't know you spoke to everyone in the world.

There are many words that were used during my father's day, now no longer used. It doesn't mean they don't exist. It just isn't used. There is a difference. A very clear one.

So basically, same bottle, different label. Essentially you're arguing a silly point.

There's also a difference between not liking why something exists, and denying that it exists.

The term "race" came about in a negative way, fine. That doesn't erase the fact that it could easily be used in a neutral way. Because we aren't actually all the same are we? We are a single species with many different types of human in that species. Like any other animal. I use the term "race", not in the same negative way as those white western men, but in the exact same way as ethnicity is used, and contrary to your blinkered belief, it's as applicable.

If you'd bothered to pay attention to the world, you'd know that.

Did I say we are all the same? I said we are all biologically the same. Our features and characteristics are different. You are probably blond or have blue eyes, because you are from the north of Europe. I have black hair and dark brown eyes, because I came from south east.

Your biological structure is not different to mine. What do you have extra arms? Do your cells work different to mine? Do you eat special foods to me?
Is your stomach programed not to be able to eat certain foods I can?

I suppose there are slight differences..then we are part of the same race.
