Allow me to expound on that. The "race doesn't exist" crowd is getting louder and more adamant with their silly little argument (the result of trying to inject politics into science) every day. I would like someone to show me how, if race really doesn't exist, do you explain, for example, the identification of a DNA segment on chromosome 8 that is a bigger risk factor for prostate cancer, for black men? Or, the discovery of a gene difference that explains why black women are more than twice as likely to give birth prematurely than White women. Or why people of African descent are more vulnerable to TB?
