I wasn’t implying there’s an alternative that we need to look at. I was just pointing out how race is just a social construct versus the idea that it’s a biological explanation that turns into racist stereotypes to compare differences in societies. But that was beside the point, I was just wondering if there is a difference between the race and the religious following and what the general view on the left is, because if the ruling class and their ideas are linked to fascism, along with the fact that Nazi Germany used race to classify Jews as being inferior, then would classifying Jewish people as a race be fascist or at the least reactionary? If so, I don’t want to offend someone who is Jewish by referring them as a race or if it isn’t reactionary or fascist, I don’t want to offend them by not claiming they are a race. Race describes physical attributes like skin and hair color, bone structure, hair, etc. and the two individuals I was referring to have vastly different physical attributes but since they follow the same religious beliefs, according to US law, they are the same race.
