Is the term "race" meaningless?

No. There are some great races in the world. Indianapolis 500, Le Mans, Tour de France, Boston Marathon.

It's OK if you put "human" in front of it!

Biologically, yes

No way!, I went yesterday

I see it as a contest of the fastest. Even the best have bad days and finish badly.

"Race" seems to appeal to the school children we all once were. As adults is that term rather irrelevant? Yes, to a degree.

For humans, meaningless.
For animals, a word used by breeders, with only pragmatical meaning and purpose and no deep scientific foundations.

It should be. In my opinion, if no one asked, no one would care. By asking it gives it an unnecessary gravitas.

Depends on the implications behind it

It has as much meaning as people give it

like from start to finish? it means a race.

It should be

To some

No. Race is real and it plays a role in medicine, education, and many other things in life. What's done with that information is what makes the difference.

In Australia from the 1950s to 1970s, bigots treated Italians and Greeks with disdain because most people were white, but they were the most different. When more Asians and Africans arrived, the attitude shifted to them.

I think this demonstrates that some people have a predilection to hate anything that they define as different, 'other'.

It should be. But humankind will cling to such distinctions, in order to determine how they should treat each other. 😔

Nah. Some bad shit was done to some races.
