"Races" as they exist at all are essentially crude amalgamations of phenotypes and regional groupings, they are not genetically precise labels that we can use to draw definitive conclusions regarding genetics. This doesn't mean that we cannot observe patterns or make predictions about racial groupings, only that those observations are ascribed to a grouping that does not account for the complexity of genetics beyond what can be detected by the naked eye.
