You're talking about averages. The idea that "genetic tests can accurately determine race" kind of falls apart when you apply it to an individual with mixed ancestry. You can probably detect and quantity the extent of the mix (which is why 23andme or ancestry can make money), but labelling a bunch of averages as "race" and arguing that there is an innate and immovable property of biology seems like there's something you're missing in drawing these correlations. You can start at a conclusion and show all sorts of correlations given enough data, but it doesn't give validity of how this is somehow the right way to look at it.
And that's not even getting into how you're giving off creepy eugenicist vibes.
