    There is only the human race. Any differences in appearance is less that a % of genetic difference.

      Fun fact, there is more genetic variation within Africa than there is in the rest of the world combined. This is because only a small lineage of humans ended up migrating out of Africa.

        “Our”

        I’ve ever only seen Americans and random racists use the term that way. Most of us agree that we’re one race.

          Are you kidding? I’ve heard Scots and English vilely denegrate Welsh, Germans denegrate Saxons, English denigrate black people…on and on and on.

            Black people denigrating blacker people, Indians denigrating darker Indians, and so on. Yeah, we’re tribal, evolved that way.

            These people all bent over the word “race”. Meh. Give it a rest. The word used to be in common parlance, now I never here it IRL, despite being told us Southerners are the most racist people on Earth.
