What goes on in the minds of people who never learned a language? Like a deaf and blind child who still hasn't been taught communication methods yet. Surely their mind can still form concepts.

You can think without language, for sure, but the idea of a race - can you construct that without it? You almost certainly possess the idea from it being communicated to you via language and it is a social construct.
