    It shouldn’t be a factor for their legal or national status, however.

      Absolutely agreed. Making social and political decisions on what is known to be pure bunk that is intended only to oppress is ethically bankrupt and what I think is best formally described as “absolute bullshit”.

      My main point earlier is to avoid using the fact that “race” isn’t biologically a real thing as an excuse to dismiss the impact of ongoing systemic racism. In a similar manner to how many on the far-right used the election of Obama as “evidence” that racism doesn’t exist anymore.
