>Is race a 'social construct'

Real talk op, everything conceptualized by humans (and organisms in general) is a "social construct".

And before any of you retards claim some sjw bullshit, a social construct is simply a naturally occurring phenomenon/ result of a series of interactions between organisms. Me posting on this thread in reply to you is a social construct, you bonding with a dog or cat is a social construct, doing an assignment on the infinite series for your teacher is a social construct, writing down observations of insect movement is a social construct, someone downloading a song another person uploaded to a site is a social construct, your friend falling in love with a 2d picture made by an artist is a social construct, your parent going in for their yearly check up at the doctor is a social construct.

The question is what degree of value do you place on such occurrences? Should you deem such behavior as intelligent? Or do you deem it as unintelligent? Is the following behavior acceptable? Or is it unacceptable?

To me race isn't "real" just like how math and language are not "real". It doesn't mean I don't place value on the information derived from it, it just means I recognize the fragility of such concepts in respect to existence as a whole and don't hold on to it as a perpetual security blanket for my observable life.

I'm done with my soapbox now though, you may proceed to shit post as scheduled.

Disease Reservoirs or Disease Vectors?

Which is more dangerous to humanity's current and future well being /sci/?

And if you argue neither or say they are beneficial to humanity, I ask this, would you openly allow these proxies of infection to follow us to possible space colonization?
