The left wants you to believe that race has no biological basis, but they can't just come out and say that because it's obviously false.

So, instead they say "race is just a social construct". In a sense, this is true. All language is socially constructed, and there exist edge cases where a person might be categorized one way or another depending on social conditions.

But they don't say "race is a social construct" because they want you to think about the nature of language. They say it because they want you to incorrectly think that race has no biological basis.
