      There were no human races last time I checked. It’s strange that English is still saying people are a certain race.

        Because the meanings of words can shift over time, and in English, the word “race” now has two different (though slightly related) meanings.

        Well, three, if you include car races…

        biologically no, but socially white supremacy is very much a thing and so is race. Israelis can be of any race therefore a blanket statement of racism against them is nonsensical since Israeli is a nationality not a race

      What the fuck does it matter? The last I checked, taking a flippant joke as serious and literal is pointless and just makes you look bad.
