Have you noticed or found more than one human race? I haven't I keep looking but I still haven't found another one. All over the world ....but objectively I keep looking. What have you found?

There are billions of people on Earth who have discrete racial identities - Chinese and Indian subcontinent. One need not rely on self-identity; one can perform matching of key genes. Then, from that, you can develop a probability of other nearby genes being of a particular character, even though they were not actually tested.
We may individually differ, but we often share our cultural / racial bias, as a means to discern friend from foe. My concern is with "predators" who hide among the innocent, and mislead the victims into plural hatred and fear. Tolerance of predators is unmerciful to their next victim - though they may share our cultural / racial bias.
I do not think Haitians are inferior in intelligence towhites. There are many reasons why civilizationsdevelop more in some places than others. AllGreeks are not geniuses because of can't tell when a genius will come along. But whenit does happen, it can benefit the culture in which he was born, (sometimes after he has been hounded and persecuted by his own peop- le into an early grave; does Galileo make the Italian people born astronomers?) In a place like Alaska, the circumstances are not very encouraging, where the people have almost all they can do to keep from freezing to death; then again, in a place like Hawaii, where lush vegetation grows without the effort of culti- vation, where winter never comes--why bother?! Civilization seems to start in fairly moderate to benign climates, such as Greece and Italy; from there it spreads; but when it spreads, the people to whom it does spread are able to adopt it intelligently enough.
The problem with a base genome is that in the areas with advanced medical care the blur in racial identity is growing. You have to rely, for the most part, on self-identification and we get back to what race is Barack Obama? What allelle's does he actually have.
There will be a very small technical window between the point when we have the ability to utilize genomic information and the ability to simply scan the actual person and know on a routine basis. When you enter the sickbay of the starship Enterprise you get a gene scan the same way we do a CBC. Except this is going to happen in the next few years, not hundreds of years from now.
It also speaks to the vitality of the city versus the countryside. Strangers come together in the city, each from some different social context. In the city, they build a new culture. But, to me, not being much a traveler, if you can live in New York, you can live in Tokyo or London.
and in National Socialism the decision is the province of a few as to what characterizes those who should be killed off. Failing to obey the uber fuhrer chief among them. Under Adolf Hitler even Hitler did not qualify.
National Socialism is a poison. If it has been poisoned it is only an extension of the socialist wars of the twentieth century at worst and the anti-socialist wars at best. Once the poison spreads to international socialism we will all be the better for it. Like all forms of socialism it cannot be tolerated in any free society where rights and responsibilities of citizenship are held sacred as our the supreme source of power the individual citizen and citizens in complete control of any government. Giving over that portion of their power is the same as sacrificing their own ability to reason and think no different than drinking a cup of Jonestown Koolaid. Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Pol Pot, LBJ, Clinton, Sanders or Trump makes no difference. Those who drink are no longer citizens but slaves.
I think you need to consider the DISTINCTION BETWEEN 'LOOTERS' and 'MOOCHERS'
LOOTERS are more inclined to ACTIVELY SCHEME for their benefit at the expense of ALL.
MOOCHERS are PASSIVE, quickly grabbing WELFARE HANDOUTS, threatening to unleash violence and rioting when the HANDOUTS are slower than they are accustomed.
Does anyone in the Gulch know the meanings of 'dysgenics' and 'eugenics' and their significance?
Dysgenics is the hazard of civilisation - protection of the 'unfit', the perpetuation of genetic combinations that impair health and reduce contributions to the group for survival scenarios.
Eugenics is the science, much maligned, of promoting the better quality genetic combinations.
Simplified, the small or non-existent families of productive individuals, VERSUS the larger families of welfare recipients. This leads over time to decreasing numbers of productive individuals to the detriment of the proliferation of the masses.

I'll agree that the "races" don't exist in the meaning of having objective biological definitions or attributes. But there are certainly social in- and out-groups, and some of them are called "races", and they are sometimes used as excuses for behavior that discriminates, both by members and non-members of each group. I see no difference between these and any other potential "family", club, or community except in how we each choose to treat people in them.
Not all of these behaviors are irrational. Sometimes appearance is a good predictor of behavior.

The welfare state also provides a lot of the incentive for our evolution in bad directions. 40% of all births in the US are out of wedlock because of the welfare/child support enforcement system. Those kids have no future except to loot and to breed more looters.
What could be a discussion and debate about the strengths of various courses of action has, UNFORTUNATELY been transmuted into the 'Bread and Circuses' of politics and the WELFARE STATE.
The WELFARE STATE is merely the armored camouflage the LOOTERS have devised to OBSCURE their HEIST.
National Socialism has been POISONED by the politically correct garbage of LOOTERS to such an extent that mention of it makes people assume that you are anazithatwantstokillsixmillionjews.

"Civilized" and "urbane" have deep meaning.
LOOTERS are more inclined to ACTIVELY SCHEME for their benefit at the expense of ALL.
MOOCHERS are PASSIVE, quickly grabbing WELFARE HANDOUTS, threatening to unleash violence and rioting when the HANDOUTS are slower than they are accustomed.

I guess that by your 'logic' that Pitbulls, Great Danes, Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, and Golden Retrievers are JUST dogs.
Maybe Pigeons, Turkeys, Grey Parrots, Bald Eagles, Vultures, Crows, Ostriches are JUST birds.
Can you please offer anything about race? Even if it may prove to be incomplete.
What you have added to the above conversation has NOT given me anything that could add to OR cause me to revise my thinking on the subject.
REALLY?
So you look at Haiti and think that maybe they could have created the computer that you are accessing the Gulch on?
Money first. BS second.
