Different regions on earth have different natural selection pressures.
Over time, different natural selection pressures will select for different physical and mental traits.
The semantics of the word "race" can be argued until you are blue in the face, but you can't argue with scientific facts.

Well done, sir, well done!

A taxonomist could easily argue that there certainly are subspecies of humans and they correspond to what we call races.
People just aren't comfortable with being compared to animals and yet the same principles apply.
You forgot to add " no homo" you homo sapien you!

The average IQ is 100. Roughly half the people are below average intelligence. Around 40% are idiots. There will always be those that will refuse to believe something regardless of the amount of sound logic and facts in support of it.
And women are not a different race, they're from a different planet.
Genius, I would never have guessed that almost half the population is below AVERAGE intelligence.

YES! Isn't it amazing how people over 30 can over generalize and place people into specific categories of being a certain way. They can't even realize when they are doing it either.

That would be true, if impenetrable walls existed but it never did. The HGP proved by crunching DNA on Unix Superservers that tribes of people continuously mixed with nearby tribes, far away tribes, and distant tribes from across the oceans and continents, millions of times since the birth of the human race in Kenya 60K-100K years ago. The evidence and findings are published on the web and available to for review. There are internet forums, public conferences, and professors/reserachers at thousands of universities whom you can call, email, tweet, or blog to argue and dispute these facts. If you can disprove the findings of the HGP they surely want to hear from you.

Is there a "black gene" that all black people have, and no non-black person has? No.
Are the clusters of genes that are found at different frequencies in different races? Yes.

1) No. It's a pigmentation level. All creatures have it.
2) There are no plural 'races' as you state. There is only one race, the Human Race.

Since you're exposing your prejudices by engaging in age discrimination (thinking "people over 30" see things a certain way), I will note that I see it the other way. I see that at a lot of colleges student form "Asian Students' Association," "Black Students' Association," "Hispanic Student Association" etc. Are these not largely perceived as "race based"? By contrast, in the largely over-30 work world I do not see employees organizing into such groups, nor do I see it in residential communities among home owners ("Black people of Culver City", etc). Why do young college kids feel the need?
What do you based your observations on?
Actually there are a lot of professional associations for various ethnic groups in the united states. They are often advocacy groups, much like unions.
It's only some dumb americans who think this. Elsewhere in the world the word race doesn't even exist in this sense.
Also IF someone did ask my race, I would say "Mixed". As should every person in the world.

That just confirms that we are separate races if you can say mixed.
The reason that Americans establish the identity of different races while many other places do not is because most other places are homogeneous while the US has greater diversity.
It's just a fact that most people do categorize people by how they look and group them as different races.
Otherwise we wouldn't have racism.
Do you deny that racism exists?

You are so brainwashed. Get off your lazy duff and check out differences between the "non-existent" races in such trivial matters as bone density, peripheral vision, structure of cognitive abilities, resistance to different types of disease...
Why are those darn African descended peoples so good at running overall? Why does a small country like Iceland (just under 300,000 in population) have so many huge men capable of competing in World's Strongest Man competitions (they 'focus on it' - sure).
Get away from cowardly PC propaganda.

If there is no such thing as race, then get rid of Affirmative Action. NOW. lol

That discus thrower girl who tossed for the Stanford track team 5-10 years ago today works a geneticist on campus. You can ask her. I forgot her name. I have the genes for 'bad memory'.

Nope. It's only an easy answer for those dumb enough to ask that literally everyone in the world can say. Or if I was in an argumentative mood I might say there is only one race.
