How many Americans consider distinguishing between Black and White people to be racism?

Any forensic anthropologist would tell you that that human phenotypic features don't naturally fall into discrete categories that can neatly be divided into races. We use preexisting socially-defined racial categories to sort forensic specimens, not the other way around. The categories weren't created using any kind of scientific process.

Forensic anthropologists (for the most part) can't even look at specimens and say "that's definitely Black"--they determine which group a specimen will most likely fall into based on averages of traits, because phenotype traits tend to overlap a lot between various groups as you move from geographic region to geographic region.

It's pretty easy to identify race as a social construct simply by looking at how different cultures interpret the same person. For example, in America President Obama is seen as Black despite the majority of his phenotype traits being distinctly intermediate. This is because of America's "one drop culture". In many parts of Africa (where my family is from) he would be seen as more White than Black. In much of Latin America he would be seen as correlating to one of many "mulatto" categories.
