It's the contradiction that I'm describing in my post, I think.

Obviously black and white skin colours exist as do things like physical features.

The social construct is that people tie those to identity. Both within and without the group. But then it seems as if that is self-perpetuating.

People can have perfectly valid reasons to dislike culture, so if we tie culture to appearance, then people are going to make judgements and dislike people of certain appearances as a logical consequence of that, which sucks.
