The Concept of Race as a Social Construct

Race as a social construct has been historically presented as a biological fact, particularly through the classification of races such as Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid. However, science now reveals that the idea of race isn't biologically real but socially constructed. Genetic studies show that humans share 99.9% genetic similarity. Constructing race served the purpose of telling a specific narrative tracing back to Western civilization.
