Actually, I'm pretty sure it does in this situation, which is to say that the imaginary construct we call race can't possibly impact one's ability to get an ID.... Because it's imaginary. We're all just humans and, to my knowledge, there's no "ID deficiency" gene.

They stole the Kit Kats in Europe. I’m guessing the shipping costs to send them to American high school kids would eat into the profits.

Yeah, but European chocolate is much better than American chocolate. It’s a premium product, like Colombian cocaine.

The difference in resale value more than makes up for the shipping costs.

No but there are ID deficiency life experiences, like Jim Crow.

Race is very much a social reality. When people tell you that it is a construct, what they mean is that there are few genetic differences between members of different racial groups. But there are powerful social differences and there have been for hundreds of years. That's why race is in fact a reality, which is what everyone knows.
