"'Race', just like any form of subdivision of living creatures, is a human construction"

the labels we assign to things are influenced by inherent differences such as the obvious differences that allow birds to fly

you can't really be trying to say that the differences that allow birds to fly are a human construction right?

Birds are an entirely different species. Not sure where this poor comparison came from. 

 

Pure races do not even exist. Things are completely mixed these days and the genetic differences between races are just about non existent. It is essentially a human construct in its modern form. Not a biological one.

"Birds are an entirely different species. "

and we base that on the physical expression of genetic differences between us and birds and the same thing applies to race

 

can you guess the physical differences we use to distinguish black people and white people?

 

"It is essentially a human construct in its modern form. "

if i took someone outside and asked them to distinguish between black and white people... they'd be able to do so right? why?
