Trump’s Executive Order misrepresents race as a biological reality; science proves it’s a social construct with no genetic basis.
President Donald Trump cannot be stopped when it comes to his DEI fury and while we generally steer clear of purely political polemics when possible, we chime in on occasion when there’s a scientific angle that can be explored.
Earlier today, Trump issued an Executive Order — unironically titled, “Restoring Truth and Sanity To American History” — that instructed the Smithsonian to be less thoughtful of American history and more cheerleader-ish. That’s on him. However, in his EO, he made a claim that, well, gives us pause. We put it in bold:
Once widely respected as a symbol of American excellence and a global icon of cultural achievement, the Smithsonian Institution has, in recent years, come under the influence of a divisive, race-centered ideology. This shift has promoted narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive. For example, the Smithsonian American Art Museum today features “The Shape of Power: Stories of Race and American Sculpture,” an exhibit representing that “[s]ocieties including the United States have used race to establish and maintain systems of power, privilege, and disenfranchisement.” The exhibit further claims that “sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism” and promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct, stating “Race is a human invention.”
The president is saying that race IS a biological reality and that racial differences are rooted in science.
That’s just crazy.
Despite centuries of belief to the contrary, science has shown that race is not a biological reality. It’s a social invention—a way of categorizing people that has no meaningful grounding in genetics or evolutionary biology.
Here are ten reasons why race, as we commonly understand it, has no basis in science.
So Here’s The Thing… Race May Be Real, But It Is Not Biological Real.
