I disagree with the last one as “Races” aren’t simply a thing to begin with, while genders and sexusal orientations to exist, even if they are complicated.
Yes and no. There are demonstrable differences between races aside from appearance, like medical conditions and financial and social pressures, but they are not so significant as to consider each group a totally different species. And, unlike dog breeds, these differences were not created, they occurred naturally. So races are in fact a thing just as much as genders and sexual orientations are. Pretending differences don’t exist is an irresponsible shortcut. The responsible thought process is more “differences exist, but do not warrant better or worse treatment”
It’s a lesson most children have learned by middle school. Some people are black.
S.A., colonisation
Are you sure about that considering how much europe and the rest of the ‘west’ has raped, colonised, deforested, chemicaled, virused, and razed its way through the world?
You’ve probably heard “gender is a social construct” before, so surely you could argue about that, too.
Not really. Genders do exist in biology. They may not always be clear cut (and one animal might have also both genders at the same time) but they most certainly do exist and are the foundation for sexual reproduction which is very much a thing, next to asexual reproduction. Human races are not.
No they literally don’t.
You’re thinking of Sexes.
Biological sex is a large cluster of traits with bimodal distributions where typically the traits are somewhat close to each other on their curves.
You still manage to get situations like my ex’s mom getting karotyped as XY despite having given birth multiple times
