Stumbled on

..which addresses some of the messiness of the social construct. Just because something is intangible, unscientific and based entirely on the social contract (itself imaginary #Rwanda) does not mean that it is not real. It has measurable impact, but it can be fluid.

The point is whether one has enough of the "privileged class characteristics" to have a choice about belonging. Nobody can (yet) SEE your bank account (and it's concealment is what expensive cars and shoes are supposed to be doing), nobody cares (yet) what's on your government ID, or the experience of your youth. Blending in, or the ability to blend in, is what's key here. Am I plausible at the country club? I can get there with contacts, with cars, with clothes, etc, but the easiest ticket is complexion.

We don't get to choose it, so I'm not suggesting individual complicity here.
One ironic side note is how the culture is all about self-identification, (hell, HItler self identified as German) and we have lots of baggage about other identity choices.

I completely understand what you are saying. Race is a social construct... a cultural construct. There is no physical or genetic reality that defines race. But the social/cultural constructs here are very real, with very real effects and repercussions. I agree that we need to alter these constructs and ultimately eliminate them, such that skin color (or other "racial" indicators) become as unimportant to most people as eye color. That is the ideal. But I feel like simply denying the existence of race is not productive. Race is a real thing in a similar way to the way that words are real, or nostalgia, or love, or the sense of community, or tradition. All these things have meaning because people give them meaning, for good or ill.

For me, as a person who solidly falls into that construct of "white", denying the existence of race feels like I'm minimizing the real world injustices that other people suffer as a results of these constructs.
