To say that something is a "social construct" is beyond banal. Art, science, language, literature, psychology, philosophy, history, geography, anthropology, etc, etc - all social constructs.
To say that any discernment of similarities and differences between humans, their valuation and ranking, is a social construct is not saying anything apart from stating the most obvious. There are differences and we all see and recognise them.
We recognise intelligence and firmness, kindness and viciousness, refinement and coarseness, even though none of these have any DNA marker.
You can readily tell a black African from a Japanese. The difference is real and instantly recognised.
"Racism" is based upon the idea that because a person has a darker skin than another human being they are inherently less intelligent automatically. Such an idea fails to take into account the story that DNA tells us that essentially all humans are the same. You refuse to acknowledge the science that backs the Human Genome project because it disagrees with your socially constructed vision that because a person looks different to you, they are inherently different. The reality is that a black person is as intelligent as you, as well developed as you and able to interbreed with you. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
