    I’m considering this from the perspective of taxonomy. Race is basically a synonym for “subspecies” which is pretty fucked up.

      Yeah iirc that’s also why human races aren’t really a thing in french.
      Although we do use that word for animals’ breeds (which are just subspecies iirc) but I guess that’s just because it wouldn’t really be french if there were no weird exceptions

        At least the French got that going for them.

        Hurry up and overthrow your government already, everyone is waiting for one of your classic revolutions.

          Yeah unfortunately our government has been pretty much continuously giving absurd levels of power to the police and they’re paving the way for the fascists to win the next elections so it’s not looking too good
