- never signed up for anything like this,
- never donated to or signed up for emails from the DNC, et al.,

The left has GOT to stop using race/skin color.
It’s a pretty relevant distinction within American life. I’m no strategist, but it doesn’t seem unreasonable.
The only people who think race don’t matter is people who exclusively interact within the same race.
It’s a social construct that didn’t exist until the 1600s, but it’s a real social construct.
Outside America and other former plantation economies it can be a bit different, and less in-your-face, but it’s almost always still there.
It’s not purely a social construct, I hate this stupid idea. It’s a phenotype. Babies do not have a randomized skin color at birth, it depends on their ancestry. Calling that a “social construct” is arguably racist in itself.
Skin colour is a complete continuum, and one which doesn’t very in any uniform way based on geography, aside from the darkest people coming recently from Africa.
By this logic, ear size is a race.
Yes! You’re getting it. Ear size is an aspect of race. As is hair texture and height and all the other inheritable phenotypes. Skin color is just the most visibly obvious one.
Well, words can mean whatever you want, but usually race refers to the discrete-ish social categories that have been constructed based roughly on specific phenotypes. For example Black people were a discrete legal category for most of America’s history, and were nominally 3/5 of a person and treated as much less. Now, they have equal legal rights on paper, but the category remains informally.
That’s an academic ivory tower definition that they invented and no one else uses. Even the blatant racists who sorted races into these social categories did so based on physical appearance. You didn’t see any dark skin people allowed to use facilities that said “whites only”.
It’s based on physical appearance, which is based on phenotype.
As a Democrat, I agree.
But I kinda want to see how deep this goes.
