    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.

      If you replace “race” with “caste” in your reply it would still make sense but you would see how silly you are being.
