How in the world can you prefer something that is not objectively definable biologically? Race does not exist in biology other than MAYBE as a form of a phenotype descriptor. It is a self-created illusion.
It is a supeficial way to try to differentiate something as a means for then ascribing this or that as "superior." We are all blood and flesh bags on a pile of bones. ... and one of millions of species of "Earthlings." The 'race' descriptor is a tragicomedy at best. I am sad for you and hope life experience brings you greater wisdom.

@Neoerectus Exactly. And there is also more genetic variation within the so called 'races' than between them.
[quote]Ultimately, there is so much ambiguity between the races, and so much variation within them, that two people of European descent may be more genetically similar to an Asian person than they are to each other (Figure 2).[/quote]
