> Well, there are medical differences between races. The problem is, unlike some of those between the sexes, they are largely based on social history, not biology. And once again, this sort of pseudoscience masquerading as science emerges, simply because it fits the American cultural meme that race should not have any inherent impact on outcomes. Hell, the article in the post contradicts that point too Race, as it is right now, is a surrogate variable for a number of genetic factors. It's certainly less precise than some sort of genetic marker analysis, but it's low cost and notable improvement in performance means that it still has a distinct role to play, especially since we're nowhere near post-scarcity. The argument that race is a social construct with no objective source is also not a good counter to this. While true, it also discounts the strong relation between declared race and genetic history. Increasing levels of mixing may reduce this correlation though, requiring a revisit in the future.
