Secondly, WE (that is to say, these so-called "races" to which you refer) are not strange, exotic creatures that exist solely for you to tame and conquer.

Race is a socially constructed concept, but it is real to the degree which people believe in it and allocate themselves to a certain "race". Perhaps it would have been more correct if I said "ethnicity's", but then again I was pretty drunk when I posted that in the first place.
