It literally is. The concept is called scientific racism, and it has been thoroughly discredited by modern science.

That's not to say populations aren't biologically different from one another; but linking that to "race" is fallacious, because "race" is not a biological or genetic reality. Examining the genetic differences between populations in different regions reveals not clear delineations but rather a continuum, and any attempt to separate out such populations into different categories is by its nature arbitrary.


Saying race in the case of my post was used as slang to dictate the superficial physical differences between one genealogical group and another. The differences are minor and mostly superficial while there are more superficial difference's between and elf and human than between a black person and a white person or a Hispanic and an Asian; This is not a racist comment but it is in fact a truthful one saying that there is no difference between a black person eating a white person and a white person eating a black person is simply a fact both legally and politically correct in nature.

I don't know how you jump to it being racist as it is in fact racist to differentiate between people than to view them as the same; Just because they are superficially different which is in fact part of the very thing that leads to racism and social inequality to begin with.
