Read it with a sarcastic tilt, because race obviously is biological, so saying race isnt biological is farcical. It was just a joke that didn’t so much not land, as flew directly into the ground, mostly I feel because the internet doesn’t allow us to hear tone of voice during delivery.
I agree that race has primarily been used as a divisive social construct, largely to distract labour from the only war that counts, the class war. However, there are important medical difference that can occur. Off the top of my head for example I belive that black and white people have different responses and outcomes to certain heart disease treatments. Not acknowledging those difference and accounting for them has lead to worse outcomes for black people.
It is in fact the farcical nature of using race as a division that lends the humor to a dark sarcastic take on this.
I still don’t get it. How is it a joke?

What? Race is a social construct that has very little to do with biology. If that’s the joke, it shows lack of education at best.
