Its now politically correct to emphasize the similarity between the races and this theory does exactly that. In reality, skin pigmentation is only a suerficial distinction between “black” “white” and “oriental” humans.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Nobody's claiming that there aren't genetic differences between people of different races. However, every available study shows that genetic differences within races are greater than genetic differences between races. That makes race a very suspect measure of genetic variance.

Bingo. We are more alike than we are different.

Well, there are physical anthropologists who will argue that point and forensic scientists who can identify race by skeletal remains.

I suggest you take up your argument with them.

There are also disorder’s like Thalassemia, and Sickle-cell anemia which are race specific indicating the distinctions between racial groups are more than merely skeletal or pigmentational.
