Your skin tone is not a social construct.

So very pale people are racially different from very tan people? Light dark skinned people are racially different from very dark skinned people?

Lol. So a wild type black male that moves back to Africa will be racially different than when he was living in Cincinnati? Awesome comprehension.

Dark skinned people are very frequently racially different from fair skinned people. What is your point?

Don't dodge it shows weakness. If you don't understand the question that is being asked you can ask for clarification but don't avoid it on purpose.

Of course I'm not saying that. There's not a uniformly accepted list of races. Depending on who you ask, you may get anywhere from three to dozens. With that in mind, in modern dialogue, there are racial distinctions that run along social and geographic boundaries that don't strictly follow genetics. Is "African American" a race, or an ethnicity? You will find people that argue both. In either case, the term is strictly defined by both genetics and geography.

i think the above statement is inaccurate.

"there are some physical traits that seem to be expressed more frequently together than apart."

would be more accurate and i think that's what you are trying to say:

though. honestly...... i hold a bachelors degree in biology and have never heard of 'racially-linked genes'

OH Uthgaard? you heard of this?
