In forensic anthropology, they use 3 different types of racial groups:
Caucasoid
Negroid
Mongoloid
And it's much more about bone structure than skin color. Arabs fall under Caucasoid, for example. Central/South Americans are usually either caucasoid or mongoloid depending on how much their ancestry came from the natives, who were mongoloid, vs the europeans, who were caucasoid.
They use this to determine a person's race when they find their skeletal remains but don't have an identity.
Anyway, interesting bit of info. I don't think race is entirely a social construct. People evolved differently depending on their location in the world.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
