Social interpretations of race regard the common categorizations of people into different races, often with biologist tagging of particular "racial" attributes beyond mere anatomy, as more socially and culturally determined than based upon biology. Such interpretations are often deconstructionist and poststructuralist in that they critically analyze the historical construction and development of racial categories.

—Zick Rubin (20th century)
“He seemed to be of no particular race, or, in certain lights, to belong to some race that nobody else belonged to.”
