Race is important sometimes in medical fields because certain races and ethnic groups are more (or less) prone to certain diseases.
Race/Ethnicity can also make a culture feel more connected. However, in mixed-race areas, it can also cause tension...

opinions vary. but race has for centuries been a major problem between people. humans are unopen to difference. it scares us. so when they meet someone of a different skin/race.. they tend to upgrade/degrade themselves. and those with power make sure it stays that way. e.g. the enslavement of many african-americans in the 1800s. or hitler and the proscecution (sp?) or jews in the 1940s.

It is a fault of human nature. Every race has resentment toward others over past injustices, they can't be laid to rest.

It's not important when judging someones character.
Other than that, it helps define who we are, kind of like our fingerprints.
