Because race is a stupid term made to group people based on their appearance. 500 years ago it didn't even exist.

Gender is a deeper aspect which exist from the begining of our species.

Both seem to just be social constructs, so you should be able to change both

Yes but Race is tied to DNA, like sex. You can change gender, but you can not change sex.

Race isn't tied to DNA, it's a social construct.

The Irish weren't considered white at some point, and I'm pretty sure there are people who feel that Italians/Spanish are a different race etc.
