No racial categories map well on to genetics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization)
replyEven less so in the US with its weird categories that confuse the rest of us: I have never figured out how people with lighter skin then me (mixed white and south Asian) can be "black" or whether Spanish people are "hispanic".
Races are just racist.
replyNo racism is the (moral) judgement and using different assessments for different 'races'. You can call it ethnicities if you like, but it's not actually going to mean something different.
replyHow do you define a race without being racist?
replyDepending on the trait you actually care about. If you care about bone geometry, you select some length of a bone, you want to measure. If you care about susceptibility for a certain sickness, you measure that.
replyIt's not racist, because it doesn't say anything about the worth of the human or their rights. In fact, if you refuse to categorize and measure, because you consider this in itself to be evil, you can't actually cater to this specific person.
I guess that categorising humans based on the length of some bones isn’t racist yes.
replyBut I’m afraid that in practice, races aren’t biologically defined.
