“Race”, is of course a fiction this is why the “alleged” descendants of Western Europeans call themselves “Caucasian” and many descendant of East Europeans anglicize their names and claim to be “Anglo-Saxon” – you will be extremely lucky to find “Anglo-Saxons” in England or in Saxony in Germany.

The problem is the fact that the “Race” fiction serves geopolitical purposes (albeit contradictory) so the colour of the skin became decisive even amongst Africans themselves. However, it is not something “we” all contribute to since it benefits some people and condemn others. The greater responsibility should be with those that benefit and perpetuate this bio-cultural fiction that is West European in origin.
