Polar bears and brown bears can breed and produce fertile offspring, but we reckon them to be not just subspecies, but separate species altogether. Whether to lump or split is rather arbitrary.
Thus, it's observably true that the position that there are no human subspecies isn't a scientific one, but rather a moral one. Personally I'm comfortable with that, because being Catholic I account all human beings to be created in the image of God and equal in worth in His eyes. Whether or not there are genetically determined differences in mean behavior between different ancestry groups in Homo Sapiens doesn't change that one bit. Neither for that matter does how scientists choose to classify them.
