Default Race is a Social Construct.

Although I do believe race is a social construct I also think there is nothing wrong with it. Everyone needs to feel part of something bigger than themselves. To feel pride in ones "race" or ethnic grouping I feel is not harmful. Think of Italians and Columbus Day, the Irish and St. Patrick's day, Germans with their Von Steuben day ! African Americans with MLK day or Kwanza ! I think people WANT to be identified with a particular tribe. It gives them the purpose of belonging.
If we were all the same think how awful that would be.
