Clumsy grouping of ethnic groups based on physical traits. And the other is cultural and based on physical traits too.
Doesn't seem that much different to me.

Race is very loose, but mostly correlated to place of origin and ethnicity combined with skin pigmentation.

Gender is a perception of yourself. Which is subject to change.

I’m just going to reiterate this, because it’s more eloquent than what I would have said.

How so? The average person's idea of gender doesn't actually exist too.

This sounds a lot like pedophile apologism. A child should not be dancing lewdly for adults, period, regardless of the type of adult. What the fuck, dude?

I thought the context was pretty clear he didn't mean like was that.
The video talked about Desmond talking with a murderer(sentence served but with some caveats if it matters) and showed that the association with bad people could be distinct enough from the other things.

Well, typically one is by the color of one's skin and the other isn't. Admittedly, if you're blind, it would be a bit difficult.

Absolutely. :)

You're "I'm not saying it's aliens, but it's aliens"-esque needle thread is not the 'have your cake and eat it too' qualification you think it is.

You're doing the same old dance and thinking 'jazz hands' makes it different. It isn't. It's hack bullshit and doesn't require anyone's "a game".

Responding to your shit doesn't really require anyone's "a game".

It's low effort.

Can’t really change your ancestry, and one’s nationality isn’t a “race.”

1. How so? 2. The average person's idea of gender doesn't actually exist too.

1. Race from a biological perspective is just another word for subspecies/offshoot. Humans don't have races because we killed off the last of our sibling species 40,000+ years ago. What we consider to be race nowadays was actually invented only ~500 years or so ago (And what we consider race to be is actually called a "Morph", which is a different coloration or slight physical change within the same species, think of Leopards and Panthers, which are the same species that happen to have wildly different color variations).

2. Because people don't understand the difference between gender and sex.

1. I know. Doesn't change the fact that you can't change race even if it's shitty science.

2. Because there aren't really. Just that we call female human beings women, and male human beings men. You can be a very feminine man but you are still a man. Don't act like it's not linked.
