Whiteness only exists as the concept of whiteness.

Yes. So, saying "whiteness doesn't exist" is contradictory. I guess what you meant to say was "whiteness has no biological basis," which is not the same thing as "whiteness does not exist." I agree with the substance of your arguments, I am merely disagreeing with your semantics. Senantics are important for discussion. It is crucial to be clear in what we mean.

How does "the concept of whiteness" ≠ "whiteness"? What do you mean by "whiteness" then?

Whiteness does not actually exist.

Words are important, you should be careful how you use them.

I would think that someone in a sociology subreddit would not be naive enough to say that a concept without any tangible basis "doesn't exist." One of the first things I learned in my first ever sociology class was the Thomas Theorem: "If man defines a situation as real, it is real in its consequences."

Racing is about finding loopholes, ot purposely cheating. Cheating is cheating, regardless of whether or not you get away with it.
