Arguments in r/nba on whether certain biracial/multiracial players are considered white

Distantly related animals can still have offspring. Wolves and German Shepards can still have children together. Does that mean that German Shepard and Wolves are completely identical creatures and our classification is just a social construct?

I'm not saying any two humans are that distantly related, just trying to make point.

Because their ancestors were isolated from each other, and those different climates resulted in different phenotypes.

Mixed races are possible, and they carry genes from both parents, but some phenotypes are "stronger" than others. For example a mixed race black and white child will always resemble the black parent more.
