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.

Perhaps Al Gore wishes he was Japanese -- he wouldn't have had to worry about military service.
