Are you certain that the concept of race is a social construct? I understand that race has been used as a tool of oppression against minorities and/or occupied populations and that racism is a false and biased social atrocity. I agree that the way in which we categorize people based on physical traits has been shaped by historical, cultural, and social factors and that these classifications have been used to justify discrimination and oppression against certain groups. However, I have my personal point of view. I see it more as a normal brain function, where we rely on organizing units of any given object into groups and then classify them, as in group theory. I believe that human classification based on external differences and similarities is not inherently a value judgment. Am I mistaken? Isn't race an informal rank in the taxonomic hierarchy of biology?
