    While race is mostly a social construct, it’s easier to use race as shorthand for “populations with long-term historical ancestry in a loosely defined geographical area, accepting that population mixing has been occurring since the dawn of time and will continue to do so into the future” than it is to say that whole thing every time

    BUT, it’s my understanding that, for example, Pacific Islanders are generally healthy at a higher body fat percentage than other groups of humans.
