Do you believe race is a social construct?

I would just argue that even that is not a problem.

It is a problem because one race dominates the rest...one tribe dominates the rest...one ethnicity dominates the rest...

Human beings don't stay where they are...human beings like to go travel and encounter other people and most of human history...when one group goes to land of another...it isn't to make friends and exchange goods...it involves mass slaughter and subjugation.

Mixed can be used as one classification I think whether it be an asian and black couple or asian and white . They are both mixed , to break it down by what they are mixed with I think just causes unneeded confusion . Not to sound derogatory to mixed people but we call all dogs who are not pure bred mutts regardless of who they mated with.

So, basically, you create an artificial racial category for all mixed people, irrespective of phenotype and genotype? Or, in other words, a social construct?

Also, no we don't call all dogs who aren't "pure bred" mutts. Maybe you do, but most people, in my experience, either give the breed a new category, or hyphenate the breeds that have made up the new type of dog.

I not sure about your third question it is very unlikely and have to think about that because their genes are recessive so if they ever got with someone who was the standard of their race their kids would look normal most likely

It happens often, and has happened many a time in human history. Give it some thought, and decide whether you understand how racial categorisation can be affected by individual bias, if no scientific or intelligent rigor is consistently applied.
