I think OP's point is that it's arbitrary and context dependent where the line between races is drawn. It also includes non-genetic cultural traits, as in your example.
Should a different eye color detemine a race demarcation? Is e.g. religion a factor in detemining a race?
The examples you listed are probably better described as ethnic groups, which are not genetically detemined, not necessarily mutually exclusive and quite vaguely defined.
- dotancohen 2y agoI probably conflate race and ethnic group. In Hebrew we use the word גזע gez'a for both. What exactly is the difference?
