Race As Convenient Fiction

I'VE TRIED EXPLAINING THIS till I'm blue in the face, which attracts the wrong type of attention at the beach, but its worth explaining repeatedly, because its extremely important. Namely, there are no such thing as "races". The very concept of race is just that - a concept, which is to say, and imaginary, invented description of human skin pigmentation. We neatly, arbitrarily invent categorizes like "black", "white,' "oriental", aka "yellow", and so forth, and so on. It has often been claimed that there are three basic races, the ones just named. It certainly does seem to make the world a simpler, understandable place. The dirty little secret, otherwise known as the truth, as reality, is that every person has a unique skin color. There are as many skin colors in the world as there are people, exactly. The problem is the way the human minds works. It creates categories, and bipolar paradigms, such as up and down, light and dark, good and bad. This makes the world seem simpler, more understandable. The real world consists of an infinite variety of uniquenesses, not categories. Once you realize this, fully embrace and buy into it, which you must, because its the truth, it changes things considerably. To prove it just keep placing your forearm right next to somebody else's, anybody else's forearm, and compare the color. Every time, it will be different. You and the other person, no matter who it is, can always tell the difference in you skin colors. Go ahead, try it. Andy even if from time to time you find an apparent match, the point here is still the same: there are many skin colors, millions, not just a few, and the concept of "race" is a convenient fiction. The implications of this are staggering; of much ado about nothing.
