That's a microaggression.

Saying there is only one race is itself racist. Didn't you know that?

'Race' is a terrible term, You would have to define exactly what you mean by 'race' on what, exact!!! genetic level are we taking it to mean ?

Re: Why there is only one "Race"
It's Progressive identity politics 101. If you say there is only one race, then you erase the lived experiences of black people.

It's also a microaggression.

Re: Why there is only one "Race"
It is not the existence of some clearly inheritable physical features of skin colour etc. that is the problem; clearly it objectively exists. The problem is how this relatively minor aspect of human diversity has been conflated with the usual "us, them" emotional politics.
