As I've said before-
Race is a valid social concept. But, as a scientific classification, it only applies to other species. To suggest otherwise is to be of the opinion that the Homo-sapien species can be divided into sub-species, which it cannot. The false logic of race as a taxonomic concept was introduced for the sole purpose of division- to create hatred (i.e. so called "racism") between people who actually differ more from those within their own imaginary biological races than they do from those of others.
Translation- We can divide ourselves according to culture, nationality, etc... and group these differences together according to "race". This is a logical concept. In other words, it's within the nature of logic to refer to different cultures, nationalities, etc... as different races.
However, biologically speaking, to group people together according to race is the same as saying that there are sub-species of humans. (Because there aren't enough biological differences between the so-called races to consider them separate and readily distinguishable races. If the opposite was true then there would, in fact, exist sub-species of the Homo-sapien.)
The idea of biological races was introduced for the purpose of division. I don't know how else to word that other than to say that people wanted us to embrace the idea of biological race so that we would hate and/or buy into the fallacy of racial superiority and inferiority.

I'm not really sure. It's not like I look in the mirror wondering 'lets see what on my body looks like it should be another races?' Who does that?

the variety of the human being is such that there are many, many combinations of eye shape, noses,skin shades, hair texture in every ethnic group and there is no one-face-fits-all .......
