If they're white, yeah... I actually do get to declare that.
If you're born with the capacity to construct it, then you're born with the ability to identify your tribe. The distinction you're making doesn't really make much sense. Child development is all about calibrating various systems in order to function in the environment. Your born with the ability to make the 5 sounds that make up every language. Learning the particular dialect of your people is all about calibrating those innate functions.
Also, similar to the way you've stated things, you're not born with the knowledge of spacial awareness. You're born with the capacity to develop this function. By your logic, spacial awareness is a malleable and subjective construct. But, the reality is that it's just one of many systems at work that are being calibrated so that you can function properly in the environment.
I've presented you with enough information showing that race is empirically verifiable. DNA; facial features; skin color.
So, yes, race is a valid abstraction of reality because the tests are repeatable!
Clearly, there is no amount of information that will change your mind.
Hehe... "What else is at stake?"
Genocide of a group of people isn't enough for you, eh?
no subject
