>>12054224Yes but small change's in genetic code can stack up to massive phenotypic changes or make 0 difference, so measuring genetic difference then setting an arbitrary difference which would be required to claim that races exist is stupid. You can pull out statistics about how closely genetically related we are to chimps but few people are arguing chimps are indistinguishable from us.
As for you're family being it's own race question, my answer is actually yes, sort of.
Races are populations of people with MULTIPLE coinciding features which distinguish them. An asian with a pointy nose will still have most there features being asian. But as with literally everything, the exact size of groups place you put the line is a bit arbitrary, thats why we tend to have lots of different sized groupings, (kingdom, phyla, class, order, etc.) so you can define races AND sub races (slavs are distinguishable from nordics for example, but both still 'white'). And yes, you're family will be distinguishable from the greater race you are part of, in a noticeable phenotypic way in your case, your family is an even smaller subgrouping of the 'Dutch', 'northwest european', 'white', homo sapien, homo genus, mammals, and so on. The reason I put some of these in quotation marks is because there aren't really widely agreed upon classifications because it's considered racist to talk about race, this doesn't mean races don't exist the same way not having different words for cats and dogs wouldn't make them the same thing.
