To clarify: If things are looked at logically, historically, people who lived near each other bred together, and thus looked alike. People from one continent looked different from people from another continent. Now that we have modern travel and integration, all people will mix and in several generations we will all look more alike. But there is just the simple fact that in the past, race was a way of seeing where our homeland was. This is only logic and it's ridiculous to be afraid of this fact.
