What does it mean that race is “socially constructed”?
In: Culture
White Man puts a baby into Black woman.
What race is the baby? White or Black?
When the child grows up, they marry someone that is 100% white, and they make 25% black children. What race is the grandchild?
What about the 1/8th black great-grandchild? Also, that assumes 3-4 generations of “racial purity” to “Fix” the bloodline, which isn’t going to happen out of 1700’s Alabama.
What if the 50% Black child mixes with a 25% Asian/White?
Wherever you draw the line, it’s going to be subjective and you’ll be proving the point that race is a social construct.
