Melanin isn’t a social construct. Neither is sickle cell anemia.

SCD affects approximately 100,000 Americans.
SCD occurs among about 1 out of every 365 Black or African-American births.
SCD occurs among about 1 out of every 16,300 Hispanic-American births.
About 1 in 13 Black or African-American babies is born with sickle cell trait (SCT).

Wow. The CDC differentiates by RACE so I guess malaria and sickle cell disease are social constructs. Alert the scientific community, immediately. The CDC acknowledges race so they must be racist and therefore must be wrong. Don’t worry black people. Whew. That’s a relief.
