A theory for people to identify and describe an animal or an object to analyze and to communicate with the world around them. People concentrate on characteristics like height, eye color, and weight to differentiate between animals or objects, instead of race, gender, income status, or nationality. For instance, a house cat is much shorter, has thinner fangs, utters "meow", and he/she is much lighter, unlike a lion who is much taller, has thicker fangs, yells out "roar", and he/she is much heavier, despite a cat and a lion belonging to the same feline family line as distant cousins to each other. Another instance is that a Smart TV doesn't feature any buttons to turn it on/off, to adjust its volume or brightness, to switch channels, its outlets are located behind it, and it is much lighter, compared to the older CRT TV. Universally, everyone and everything is a social construct, but a social construct is not everyone and not everything.
There are social construct words that are not ethnic/racial terms. Examples are "white/Roman" that refers to Europeans and Hispanics/Latinos, "black" that refers to Africans and the Australoid people, "Han Chinese" that refers to Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka, Wu, and northern Hans, and "Mongol" that refers to proto-Mongols, Khitans, and Tuyuhun. These socially constructed words are used to unify the masses under nationalism against foreign enemies to take back their freedom and to connect to the world. I find it ironic that some people thinking about themselves as "white" or "black", still fight each other over their own individuality and are still slaves to the original white or black elites, who are tyrannizing them and eliminating their ethnic identities to make them follow a single authoritarian ethnicity in the name of the dollar and dominance. It doesn't matter what category we are placed under. In other words, slavery never ceased; slavery has just evolved.

Get the Cum Construct mug.A place where you will most certainly lose your sanity.
If you wish to stick around here, you'll need to grow some extremely thick skin.
The people here can be quite relentless.
But, there is a light of hope - there are some sane, smart people here. They are however few and far between.
