Jew/Muslim are religions NOT A RACE

The fact it's a social construct doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it means it exists as a fucking social construct. I define race as a form of categorizing people according to history, culture and physical appearance (I think it's the dictionary one). Biologically, if we take away diseases there are not a lot of differences. There is however a tendency for some groups to develop better or worse nurturing. Ashkenazi Jews do have high IQ's and it's partly due to eugenics done in the past and environment factors - That's why Jews are successful and Hitler got mad at them.

No one should ignore that it is an issue. But once you know humans are related through DNA it makes it much harder to allow people to hide behind it when they know that tribalism hurts others. One is the issue of human rights, the other is an excuse humans use.

Humans have always migrated and mixed which is why we look so different worldwide, but that does not change our species ability to be cruel or compassionate. And at this point in our species history the big three are on the edge of taking the entire planet out over old books, and all three hide behind labels like race and nationalism to ignore this.

I refuse to allow these three that cover anymore. Religion is the root cause of it and while you cant force religion out of existence, you take away those excuses, you can manage those differences better. How we as individuals physically treat others should be our priority as a species, not our religions or boarders.
