>>11603897Its true however, race is a category which tries to combine numerous genetic subgroups of humans into a single category. Who belongs to which race is surely even now being debated on /pol/.
This is why race-based politics is incorrect, because race does not correlate to any genetic subgroups definitely, but rather loosely and shifting based on societal norms.
If we came to an absolute, globally agreed upon, classification where every single persons race was agreed upon by the entirety of the planet, and then an asteroid hit and killed the majority of the population and put us back centuries, and we rediscovered dna and genetics and once again identified genetic subgroups, and even came to another globally agreed upon system all over again, would they be identical? Likley not, because which groups belong to which race is not intrinsically evident based on some characteristic of their genetics, it is instead merely opinion. Surely the opinions are not random, but constructed on some methodology, at least loosely, but that's a methodology of opinion rather than anything concrete.
So yes, race is merely a nebulous classification system, and yes, any way you decide to divide up humans into different groups will result in you being able to definitively say one group is smarter than the other on average, shorter than the other on average, more likely to have certain health problems or the ability to see additional wavelengths of light, than the other.
