Serious question.
Barack Obama had a black father and a white mother - and we call him black.
Slash (my favourite guitar player) had a white father and a black mother - and we call him white.
So - I'm confused. Are the liberals correct when they say Race is a social construct?
It seems they could be correct since we notice things like Race in people. But we never distinguish between things like hair colour or eye colour.
Yet - on a logical level - it seems the colour of your hair or eyes should be of no more importance (biologically speaking) than the colour of your skin.
As such - are Races even real? Are the liberals correct?
