Of that entire list, only race is artifice.
A lesson in how the right and left, politically at odds, have been trained to talk and think like each other.
A leftwinger hears that, believes it, and maybe decides that we should stop acting on imaginary x's. -que better world propaganda.
A rightwinger hears it and wonders why they're getting shit for acting on one imaginary x since all the x's are imaginary. -que liberal hypocrisy propaganda.
Both ideas, both wrong, both dangerous, are informed by the same misapprehension.
A race would be a species, in parlance. There's only one human species, true. An ethnicity or culture or nationality would be a cultivar. There are endless cultivars. The thing that we call a race, would be a variation within a cultivar. There are endless variations within the endless cultivars of a single race.
