No, race or ethnicity is not a social construct, it is your genetics. Culture is a social construct. Chinese people have Chinese genetics and so they look Chinese. In China, there is Chinese culture, the culture of the mainland Chinese people.
Am I a bigot to say people who live in China live in the mindset of Chinese culture? No. Is that unethical to say? No, it is common sense, Chinese people have Chinese culture.
Am I a bigot to say Chinese people look Chinese because of their genetics? No, that is common sense. Chinese people have Chinese genes. It is clear what a Chinese person looks like compared to most other ethnicities including other Asian ethnicities like Japanese etc.
So far so good right? Follow me? No bigotry, no evil scary racism, just facts.
Okay now here’s the thing. Not all, but MOST people who LOOK like they have Chinese genetics are going to be Chinese people, which means they are going to have the culture of where? Saudi Arabia? Uganda? No, most likely, they will be raised in Chinese culture and behave as Chinese people do in according with Chinese customs and culture. Is that racist? No, it is common sense, beyond that even it is simple mathematics.
So if in my culture it is very offensive to do something that I know is a normal part of Chinese culture, I do not have to like it or accept it. That is not only not racist, it has nothing to do with race or genetics.
It is not acceptable to judge people on their looks or genes, only their behaviour, yes? Like if I kill someone or if I give to charity, you judge me accordingly, not by my hair colour, right?
Okay so skin colour is a tag for what your culture MOST LIKELY is. Not always. But most genetic Chinese people come from China which means they have Chinese culture, and that’s how they behave, and it’s only ok to judge people on how they behave, so if I don’t like their behaviour, that is not bigotry, it is a difference in culture and that is not unethical or racist
