[QUOTE="greenguzzi, post: 71200398, member: 380124"] There is a distinction that you have missed. Something existing in its own right (taxonomical species for example) is not the same as something existing as a social construct (the sociological concept of race for example). A rat will always be a rat regardless of any social construct. But a Caucasian will only be a Caucasian for as long as society defines it as one. Take away the social construct, and there is nothing there; it is an empty "existence" that has no real substance. Unlike a species, a "race" is something that can be changed. Changed simply by thinking about it differently. ".[I]..had several courses[/I]". I guess that settles it then. [/QUOTE]
