Adam Hochman has recently argued for comprehensive antirealism about race against social kind theories of race. He points out that sceptics, often taken as archetypical antirealists, may admit race in certain circumstances even if they are eliminativists about race. To be comprehensively antirealist about races, which also means rejecting all ‘race talk’, he suggests that racial formation theory should be abandoned in favour of interactive constructionism. Interactive constructionism argues for the reality of racialized individuals and racialized groups to the exclusion of realism about races. Its supplementation of comprehensive antirealism is meant to give us the ability to account for all relevant phenomena of interest surrounding the question of race without having to admit that races are real in any sense. I argue that although Hochman’s interactive constructionism succeeds in establishing the existence of racialized individuals and groups, it does not do so to the exclusion of realism about social races. Furthermore, I show that his comprehensive antirealism, even when it is supplemented with interactive constructionism, is inadequate to deal with all relevant phenomena of interest surrounding the question of race.

种族化种族：互动建构主义的种族化群体不会破坏种族的社会理论

亚当·霍奇曼（Adam Hochman）最近主张对种族与社会种族理论进行全面反现实主义。他指出，通常被视为原型反现实主义者的怀疑论者在某些情况下也可能承认种族，即使他们是种族主义者。为了全面反对种族主义，这也意味着拒绝所有“种族谈话”，他建议应该放弃种族形成理论，而转向互动建构主义。互动建构主义主张种族化的个人和种族化的群体的现实，以排除种族的现实主义。它补充了全面的反现实主义，旨在使我们能够解释种族问题相关的所有相关利益现象，而不必承认种族在任何意义上都是真实的。我认为，尽管霍奇曼的互动建构主义成功地确立了种族化的个人和群体的存在，但它并没有将社会种族的现实主义排除在外。此外，我表明，即使他的全面反现实主义加上互动建构主义的补充，也不足以解决围绕种族问题的所有有关利益现象。
