I completely agree that race is socially constructed - In fact, I am unable to distinguish between a "Jew" and a white person, they look the same to me (According to the guys at stormfront I'm Jewish as well).
But I was discussing the etymology of the word - I hear the word thrown around to refer to a specific culture and ethnicity, usually regarding physical features (what we call race) and as a group of people - Usually to either praise or criticize (comments about jews being smart, or anti-semitic ones) - So it's not easy for me to know when it's a reference to religion or simply to "race"
--»So it's semitic the right word?

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
