It would be somewhat more accurate to say that your race determines your Blood Type...
For example, Blood Types "O"s (Hunters & Gatherers), who are the originals, came from Africa, and still today comprise appx. 50% of the world population. Many "O"s are still found in Africa and Western Europe. "A"s (30%)are found mostly in Eastern Europe & Russia (First Farmers). "B"s (15%) are most prevalent among Jews, Indians, and Japanese (from Nomadic tribes)...and the rare "AB" (5%) is a genetic combination of "A" & "B"...

No - however some blood types are statistically more predominant in some races or populations than others. In addition to the the typical ABO blood groups, some antigens (other factors) may be more present or absent in certain populations than others. All this is based on a statistical probability gathered over time, and reflects nothing more than a genetic heritage that is more common among specific populations, and in general is not tied exclusively to race or heritage except for certain rare antigens

No you cannot determine race through blood types (it's all the same on the inside).

The answer is no.
Even if you knew nothing about science, it is common sense that people of any race can have any blood types. Say for example you have one person of each possible race in a room and they all have the same blood type.
It is only genetics that determine your race.

No not the way you mean. That is are they white, african chinese etc. However certain types of humans have things in their blood found only in their genetic type. EG I have egg shaped blood cells which are only found in some asian, pacific islander and maori people, but not all, only in some of them. A doctor could tell just from looking at my blood but not seeing me that I am of asian (my dad was filipino, my mum is english), descent.

nope ( some types and some antibodies are more common in some races but not 100% )

By some molecular techniques such as RFLP PCR, and using genes polymorphisms data, One can define your
geographical living approximately.
