I'm not defining terms you understand like your monkey.

You say I'm in denial of biological reality but you refuse to give examples of how I am deluded. You are not arguing in good faith.

Said the guy pretending to not understand basic terms, whether or not he agrees. (You disagreeing with those terms' practical existence is the example)

Mate, no. I understand the practical existence of race (well... to the extent a nonracialized person can) what I'm talking about is the expert consensus that: the matter of where the boundaries between races get drawn is determined by social factors, not biological.

The question of whether an ethnicity was (and is) 'white' or not was a political question, not a biological one.
