What do you think about this?

So my housemate says that if a black man and white woman have a child....their offspring is considered a different race. But then he says that genetic markers can't prove the race of a person.

Do you think that there's such thing as different kinds of "race"? Or is there just the "human race"?

My two housemates have been going in circles about this. So I just wanna know what people here would think.

There's the human race. But people in their (un)wisdom have decided that we should be separated by colour and differences in features. You never see dogs or cats segregating a different coloured or even a different breed of dog. It seems birds are quite a bit more discretionary than dogs and cats. I don't think blue jays and cardinals are likely to breed. But,,we should be better than birdbrains.
