I've explained myself badly. It won't be enough to change the terminology if it still seems like you're /dodging/ 'something that they can see with their eyes'. Needs to engage them in nature/nurture debate, while pointing out science doesn't work with muddily defined groups.

Many race realists or HBD people start of the foundation for their beliefs by trying to justify the existence and usage of race as a human grouping. This is why they are called race realists in the first place.
