My prof. is making us read this chick Smedley's work on why "race is a cultural construct." Tomorrow he will be lecturing us on this bullshit, and I need all the sources to counter him with. Sup Forums what evidence do you have, through authors, videos, articles, etc, that prove that race is biological?

You can't win because they've defined race to mean something different than the definition you know
So you can't prove anything to them because you're not even speaking the same language
Race for them is the idea that there are categories of people with rigid lines. Like selecting race in D&D.
What you call race is what they'd call population trends or something.

If "race" is a social construct, then "subspecies" is a social construct, since these two terms (along with "breed") mean exactly the same thing on a biological level. And yet, each year there are thousands of peer-reviewed scientific papers which have as their topic some aspect of this or that subspecies which is under consideration. Note that no one ever asks these many thousands of biological scientists why they're writing research papers about "social constructs". The truth is that, while our *definition* of "race" is to some degree a social construct, the concept which the definition is attempting to describe is not. Race is a vital biological category.

Racism is a socialist construct.
Socialists believe that class is also a social construct, and they still want a class war. So why are they against a race war?
Society is a racial construct.

Ask them why home sapiens doesn't have subspecies.
>a taxonomic category that ranks below species, usually a fairly permanent geographically isolated race. Subspecies are designated by a Latin trinomial, e.g. (in zoology) Ursus arctos horribilis or (in botany) Beta vulgaris crassa.
Humans have evolved different phenotypes because they have been geographically isolated. Sure some of these can be debated and are very subtle, like the difference between Chinese and Japanese, but the broad strokes are obvious and are very plain. They also correspond to genetic distance, that is at how distantly related each group of humans are to each other.

Race actually doesn't exist, due to the fact that it is an outdated term and there isn't a clear point to where one race ends and another begins. Haplogroups do exist though, and some haplogroups have a lower average IQ.
Jeremiah Flores
Race is a social construct. The categories of "white," "black" and so on, are socially constructed and subjective. Obama is considered black even though only ~half of his genetic heritage is "recent African." That doesn't mean that there are not biological components to these social ideas. Of course there are. But these are ultimately subjective socially-defined ideas, not scientific ideas. Genetics is not so simple as to permit only 4 or 5 categories of humans, or even 100 ethnic categories.

Tell him if it's a social construct, then racism should be equally disregarded, as should social constructs based around race designed by the left, such as white privilege. If he argues, just tell him he's basically arguing that he's Schrödinger's Cat hypocrite on the matter: To him, race is a social construct and therefore not real, but things like white privilege still exist.

That's a good place to start.
Sometimes I think that "race is a cultural construct" is a closet appeal to nature. These are likely the same idiots who propose borders are also artificial. Remind them of the importance of nature's territories for wolves and other aggressive animals. Not that it just exists, but that it serves a functional purpose for the survival of a group. What do the territories of groups and race have to do with each other?
Jeez, it's almost that if a group defends its genetic lineage in a given area long enough, it's genetics would be insulated from outside interference. I wonder if this would result in different features within even the same skin colour.
But really OP, "race is a social construct" is the result of reductionism and relativism. The quickest way to end the debate would be to identify a vocal or sizable ethnic minority in the class, and propose something along the lines of "if a white family moved to africa and had kids there, are the kids african? It's intentionally loaded because "african" serves as the catch-all between race and national heritage in this case. If you're lucky they'll attack each other first trying to rationalize how to tell an ethnic minority that they're wrong about race.

bruh what I learned in biology, which is an actual science, is that race isn't real in the sense that there are very clear demarcations and divisions to easily distinguish and label certain individuals as belonging to X or Y race, like, there aren't such discrete and clear-cut classifications, it's very muddled and the differences continuous IN BETWEEN the groups, BUT, that does not mean race isn't real in the sense that DIFFERENT HUMAN GROUPS ARE DIFFERENT WITH RESPECT TO VARIOUS TRAITS, AND WE HAVE AN INNATE HEURISTIC MODEL OF "RACES" BY WHICH WE DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN THE INGROUP AND OUTGROUP
I think what the bitch is trying to say is that "whiteness" isn't real, kinda like faggots thought that the Zim Zam was white, or that kikes are white, in that sense, "white people" ARE a cultural construct since you can basically make any old shit up about "whites"
Jews are a cultural construct, because genetically they are very different, but have the same cultural parasitism that causes them to leech onto European and Europoid cultures and exploit them

He's mostly right though. Taxonomists are the ones having the discussion.
A well-known definiton of species is: creatures that can create viable offspring. But there are many forms of life that reproduce asexually, like bacteria and other one-celled lifeforms.
Also, some related and more complex, species can crossbreed resulting in sterile offspring (hence not a species following this definiton), but in some cases it produces less viable offspring, as in, the chances of survival are smaller, but the 'mixed' offspring is able to pass on it's hybrid genes. Certain species of frogs are genetically closely related, and capable of creating viable offspring (and do so) yet their behavior and appearance vary to such an extend they are still considered different species, even though there are consistent interbreeding zones.
Species used to be determined based on behavior, appearance, and physiology, but the enormous progress in understanding of genetics has shook classic taxonomy to it's core.
Ofcourse, not having a strong consensus doesn't mean we can't discern what is, or isn't plausible: the claim "a human and a horse are part of the same species" doesn't make sense in whatever speciesdefinition.
Discrete human races, and more often than not species in general, are indeed a social construct. But this does not mean they are completely made up and have no basis in physical reality. Categories are a simplification in order to make general predictions about the world. Many on Sup Forums ofcourse falsely believe there is such a thing as a 'pure' or 'better' race, which makes no biological sense. But many of the social studies socjus zealots are completely deluded about the biological traits that may or may not correlate, to at least a certain extend, with what people generally understand as races. But a general 'white' person will do less well in the sun than a general 'black' person, even if the 'black' person is someone like Obama.
Anthony Sanders
Ask her if taxonomy is real or just a social construct.
All science, then, is a "social construct". The (((cleverer Left-wing sophists))) might even be willing to argue that-- while still claiming the idea of race is illegitimate.

Bullshit.
Race is a biological construct.
Culture develops as a result of race, not the other way around.
You can look to the U.S. crime stats and see that the violent crime among niggers is pretty much in line with the violent crime rates among their nigger peers in Africa. That's genetics working. That's race.
The idea that race is meaningless comes from leftists intent on justifying the invasion of white lands by non-whites and Jews.
Leo Stewart
It kind of is.
If niggers would stop commiting crimes and fix their shit then they could be just as good as any white person.
Benjamin Thomas

Blake Ortiz
Well, as I said, all classifications are constructed, but the more you go from the general to the particular, the more difficult it will become to determine it's borders. (But if the particular is determined well it does provide much stronger predictive power and/or explanatory power.)
The present a non-biological analogy: most people will have an idea what heavy-metal is, even if they don't like it and rarely hear it. Distorted guitars and drums will be the general. Now, try to formulate a discrete distinction between heavy-metal subgenres, like death metal, black metal, thrash metal. Sure, you can list elements generally found more in one genre, like high-pitched vocals, tremolo guitar playing, and low production in black metal, but these are sometimes also found in other genres (e.g. blackend death metal). If you think every distinction warrants it's own genre, every band will be it's own genre, making genres worhtless as a category since it doesn't explain/predict much anymore. The same goes with the ever increasing tumblr genders: I have no idea to what general patterns in physical reality a 'trans male-presenting demigirl' is supposed to refer in any coherent sense.
Justin Wilson
It is a cultural construct though. I think all of Sup Forums's autistic arguments on which countries are white would have proven that by now.
