That’s just your opinion. Which is fine. BTW, why is a biological construct laughable?

They're clearly not black, because they are descended from humans who migrated from the area that is now Malaysia and Indonesia. But wait, it just so happens that the Aboriginies are genetically most similar to the people of Papua New Guinea...who migrated from Africa.
Race is a purely a social construct. That doesn't mean it isn't "real". Social constructs impact people's lives, and as such, are VERY real...they just aren't based on any sound science.
