"Except the genetic differences between birds and even differences between species of birds is far more different that the genetic differences between two races."

which does not impact upon my point, which was that there are differences, which become obvious based on the fact that black people and white people can be clearly distinguished


other than being incredibly delusional to deny obvious reality right before you... the thing is that you do people a disservice because there are, for example, medical problems that are more severe in one group over the other such as sensitivity to sun light and susceptibility to high blood pressure, which are important to note

 

what about sex? do you believe sex is a social construct as well?

Let me ask you this: Why do you think race matters?

True, we can sometimes distinguish between races by physical characteristics (however, other times we can't), but we could also separate people by height or by hair color. Overall, the importance of race is a social construct, not something genetic or inherent.

While you can argue that race has a genetic component, however small, that doesn't explain its role as a point of division.
