  24.  @Waitwhat469  Historically, literally every group of people has viewed people differing from themselves as a different so-called race. It's not a post rationalization of trying to understand material differences nor did its existence have a thing to do with justifying chattel slavery. It predates it actually, so the presentism take is invalid on that. Race, meaning categorization of people according to common physical characteristics, is not oppressive. That shouldn't be a controversial statement. But again, race is absolutely wonderful when it's part of diversity, right? You're a self-identified woke person so you certainly know that social doctrine. Let's not pretend. Only when people notice that race is playing a role in the so-called oppressed becoming the oppressor, does race suddenly become a bad thing that is an artificial construct and we need to reexamine it and here's all the reasons it's bad. It's very convenient, and intellectually dishonest. The idea that people from disparate physical locations who have distinct physical features from other people from other physical locations is described as racial differences is simply an acknowledgement of those facts. The metric of value of groups based on race is a different discussion to what race actually means. Entirely separate, not an integral part contrary to your definition. The problem isn't acknowledging race or recognizing it as a valid concept, it's the ingroup thinking present in every group that says "mine is better than yours." That's true with race, gender, and every other category in the competition to prove the most oppression. That's the change we need.
