That race cannot be biologically defined is objective fact.

Animosity demonstrated here against this simple observation is very irrational.

What's y'all's problem?

Trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here, I will take it you mean by this provocative remark that there are not clear boundaries between the human "races". As groups, they overlap, blend, merge and generally confuse themselves.

Just because two groups overlap doesn't mean that they don't have statistically significant differences. You present a paper tiger, to what purpose I know not, but not to one I trust.

Do you know the story about an American newspaper reporter asking Baby Doc Duvalier (former Haitian dictator) what percentage of Haitian society was white? Baby Doc says 95%. The reporter is _sure_ he's been misunderstood. So he repeats the question: What percentage of Haitians are _white_? Again, he gets the answer: 95%. Finally he asks how Baby Doc defines a white person. Baby doc shoots back: How do you define a black person in America? The reporter replies: Someone with some black blood. Baby doc smiles and says. That's how we define a white person in Haiti -- a person with some white blood.

If race cannot be biologically defined, it's only because biologists refuse to define it. There are, in fact, huge differences between races. One of the more interesting ones is that Japanese people rarely have the underarm glands which produce the strong odor which we Caucasians obsess over masking. This odor almost certainly contains pheromones, which influence mating and other behavior. The presence of these glands in Japanese is so rare that it used to be grounds for exemption from military service in Japan -- it was considered a medical disorder.

"That race cannot be biologically defined is objective fact."

This statement is an objective lie. That there are biological differences between the races is easy to determine by simply observing your neighbors.

More junk science, from wishfully thinking "scientists".
