A thing that dosn't exist /can not/ be used for anything - even with humans in existance who choose to /believe/ otherwise. Looking at the topic of perpetual motion machines should make this quite obvious, stating that these dont't exist does in no way imply that there are no misguided humans who believe otherwise. The exact same applies to "there is no such thing as race". Stating discrimination based on 'race' /being possible /implies that 'race' exists, effectively bootstrapping a false idea into existance.
