Edit for context:

My view is transracial isn’t valid and this person is trying to dogwhistle. I’ve already blocked this person, and now they’re going after my friend saying my friend is transphobic because they disagreed with them about transracial being a thing (they’re purposefully leaving the context out so my friend looks transphobic when what my friend really said was transgender is valid but transracial isn’t)

    tell them race isnt real

    Regardless of culture/ethnicity: two asians have a baby, you get an asian baby.

    Regardless of culture/ethnicity: two slavs have a baby, you get a salvic baby.

    Race is most certainly real.

      To quote the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article on Race (human categorization):

      Modern science regards race as a social construct, an identity which is assigned based on rules made by society. While partly based on physical similarities within groups, race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning.

        Physical traits are passed through genes onto kids, thus kids have much the same traits as their parents. Asian parents have asian kids. Why are we doing elementary biology here?

        This really isn’t the argument we should be latching onto.
