Race is a way of being, not merely a set of ideas

Evidence

Race refuses to remain silent because it isn’t just a word. It is a set of conditions, shifting over time. Never just one thing, it is a way (or really ways) of thinking, a way(s) of living, a disposition. It is, as I have suggested in regard to racial palestinianization, a passion released or charged (up) and put in gear by events, concerns, troubles. As ways of being, living, thinking, emoting, it is both prompt and product of social tensions and catastrophes. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 827 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
