race is a social construct, I don't think wikipedia would have a definitive list of races

    I'm not sure I'm following your argument. Almost everything is a social construct to humans, that does not make it un-true. I feel like this is one of those anarchistic things people say just to appear smart, while in reality it's meaningless.

    What race someone is literally depends on what people think. There's no scientific way to establish the race of someone. A popular example is that Italians and Irish were not considered white.

    Idk how you can't follow my argument, it's clearly about the fact that it's not definitive whether Jews are a race or not. It is definitive that they are an ethnic group because you can establish that via culture and heritage and language and obviously, religion.

    I think Indians and Taiwanese look very different and don't have a similar origin, but people would say they're both "Asians" by race.
