Again referring to westerners as a block without nuance

Lol, first I was being pedantic and now I'm not being nuanced? Under the context of racial science, labeling it as a western ideology is correct and fairly specific. What exactly is it lacking in nuance?

Ethnicity is too, more by definition.

Ethnicity has a set definition in the social sciences. Simply calling something a social construct does not equate it to flawed social constructs like race. Unless you are claiming that things like language and culture are just as meaningless as someone's skin color, then there are inherent differences between ethnicity and race.

China also has xenophobia and racism. Ask Tibet.

Xenophobia yes, racism no. If race has no pertinence to racism, why utilize the terminology? Why preserve the ideology of a long debunked science?

What race are the Chinese and Tibetan?

Ask Taiwan or hong Kong nationals. That's not news to anyone.

Lol, you are getting even more wrong the more you type. People from HK and Taiwan are the same race, and ethnicity. You are now equating nationality to race......

I can tell you totally understand what youre talking about.....
