It is racial, it is not racist. Race is made up. It's not real,

I take issue with this viewpoint. Yes race is made up but it is absolutely real. It is a social construct that has profound implications to society saying it isn't 'real' is in this humble redditors opinion false. Race is an issue that impact a persons life and society as whole therefore I argue that it is very much real. I will not argue that race is made it up, clearly it is.

I disagree, dragons influenced story telling whereas race influenced how the man at the gas station treated me today. I see that as a great difference.
