    They’re making a point about how race is a human construct created to separate humans for the purpose of power. The idea of race didn’t exist until the 1750’s or so when Linneaus categorized people based on geographic location and racist stereotypes.

      Right, go tell that to Herodotus when he was talking about various other races of peoples and how barbaric they were compared to the Greeks, in 425BCE.

      Or just keep making up shit that race is a modern European white man only thing. Don’t let the the rest of history and the other cultures of the world inconveniently disprove your stupidly modern euro centric view of the world.
