Unfortunately that made-up idea is being used in the real world and creating real consequences.

And we’ve found that trying to ignore race only allows racists more free rein to treat everyone with a skin color darker than paper terribly.

Agreed. I would like to see countries like the US move past the 19th century concept "race" and into a bit more of a nuanced understanding of ethnicity, though.
