My parents taught me that race doesn’t exist. Culture exists, but race is a construct.
Culture is shared value from shared experience.
Race is a political tool. It’s a false paradigm based on how much melanin exists within humans exposed to different levels of ultraviolet radiation, and other environmental factors over generations. Which has zero connection to a human beings thoughts, decisions, intelligence, or values.
There is one race. The human race. Anyone pushing a different line is dealing in racism. Cause the concept of race is itself racism.
