Since Rachel Dolezal is trending, I'm going to stir the pot and ask (not as snark, but as a genuine article of discussion) how and why her decision to present and live as a black person differs from a man's decision to present and live as a woman.

How can everything be a social construct? I mean Black skin and XX genes are biological realities - is she talking about personal roles and relationships? I can agree that those could be considered as social constructs but I can't accept that everything is just willed into existence or not because of human perception and expectations that's just solipsism and is r-slurred.

Im actually more willing to believe race is a social construct than gender. A black man and a white man are more biologically similar to eachother than two blacks or two whites compared to eachother. Man and woman have different body types
However lets be honest as much as black wokies say βrace is a social constructβ they will still turn around and try to platform race realism when it promotes the idea of blacks being superior. They never talk about indian excellence, indian boy magic, asian is beautiful or latinx lives matter (stop asian hate has some token support but lets be honest black wokies dont support it with nearly as much fervor and only ever when it can be blamed on a white person). Because ultimately blacks as much as they deny it are just like white americans. Racist, lazy, middlebrow buttholes

It's all just word games. The category of black is socially constructed with arbitrary rules like one black ancestor and 15 white ancestors makes you black instead of white. But ethnicity itself is not socially constructed.
