Recent events shed light on how integral race is to people’s perception of the world. It is core to many of our identities. Yet, biologists and anthropologists suggest that race is not biologically real. Meanwhile, philosophers disagree with the mode of existence of race - whether it is a natural kind or if it is a social construct. Cosmopolitanism is one such influential philosophical approach which sees race as something merely socially constructed.

Given the disagreement on its ontology, there could be further implications on normative ethics. If people accept that race is not real, would that change how we currently deal with race and racism? If so, how would it change?
