The simple answer is that Race science is pointless because race is not a clean objective concept. We are fooled by our remarkable capability to assign racial labels into thinking it must be simple to cleanly deduce race from a generic test. But it's obvious that races do have genetic differences. The way scientists resolve this conflict is to bypass race entirely. And focus on genetics. Genome wide association studies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome-wide_association_study https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome-wide_association_study) is the answer. You create statistical models from large caches of genetic data and find association's. Then you can provide a risk score for an individual and if you want estimates based on ethnicity. It's the genetic test that makes it useful like Duffy Null testing before starting people or African descent on Clozapine, HLA-B*1502 testing before starting Asians on Carbamazpine. Where risks are lower you can do crude heuristics like calcium channel blockers before ace inhibitors for black people. But just having people check a box in a questionnaire and doing their IQ is just pointless scientifically.
