Actually sir, race, is a social construct. But is also ontolgically subjective. There was time when people weren't classifed by white, black, asian, etc.

Take for instance Africans in America that were brought over as indentured servents. After they served their time, they were free. Only after the fear of losing hegemonic control throughout the white population, they were classified by the color of their skin.

The same applies to culture and religion. All social consturcts! My question has alway been: Once people understand that there is no "right" or "wrong," what will happen next? Then comes into play moral subjectivity, which is another debate.

On another note...I enjoy fishing. But I also enjoy a good sociological debate.
