It has nothing to do with political correctness or wokitude, science bra. There's simply no genetic basis for "race." All humans today have 99.9% identical DNA, with an extraordinary lack of genetic variation compared to that in other species. There is no person on the planet that is a further relation to you than about 37th cousin. Ever seen race used for differentiation in other animal? Race is a recent invention, essentially nothing more than folklore, to be generous, and not a product of scientific research or discovery. The concept of race has it origins in the context of African slavery. So from it's inception, the concept of race was always racist invention.
