Race: In Between Natural Concept and Social Construct
The concept of race is described as being between a natural concept and a social construct, more like a social construct inspired by a biological reality. This is explained using the analogy of time constructs where a day, matching the rising and setting of the sun, is a natural kind. In contrast, a seven-day week is a social construct as it is arbitrary and not based on any natural phenomenon. Finally, a month is also a social construct, as it does not correspond to any natural event like the beginning and end of February and March.
