    I’m considering this from the perspective of taxonomy. Race is basically a synonym for “subspecies” which is pretty fucked up.

      Yeah iirc that’s also why human races aren’t really a thing in french.
      Although we do use that word for animals’ breeds (which are just subspecies iirc) but I guess that’s just because it wouldn’t really be french if there were no weird exceptions

        At least the French got that going for them.
