You know, there are plenty of white people whose organs are incompatible with each other, right?
There are people who are related to each other who cannot donate BLOOD in either direction.
Bone marrow incompatibility is not exclusively due to race differences.
But that’s just, you know, paying attention. Not something ou’d be familiar with or open to…

While "race" is biological, it's not really as important as racists try to make it. Like, sure, you can find a set of bones and find out all about the person, but the differences are usually minute. It's minor variations within homo sapiens. It doesn't justify say... treating another person differently because of the amount of melanin in their body.

And, as pointed out above, ethnicity isn't the only qualifier for bone marrow (or other) transplants. Blood type, for instance, varies between all ethnicities and is a major disqualifying factor for most surgeries like that. Heck, I think with the example of bone marrow, they usually try to stick with close relatives, because it's so finicky.

As for the "joke" I like how it implies the purple tipped thing already had a transplant, and only now the doctor is going "Oops. We fucked up." Because that's how that works, just stuffing bits and bobs from other people into the person in surgery only to check for issues later.

Genetic differences are not a social construct. No one claims they are.

Bone marrow is not race. It might correlate with it, but it’s not the same thing.

So to you, blood types or HLA genes are races? Why do they vary so much in a population? How do you consolidate these with your color or ethnic based "races", the social constructs?
