You assume that God set about making "races." You assume that there is a God or that he had a "purpose" in mind by creating them.

You are historically literate, but scientifically off..the most unique racial grouping is the Pygmy of Africa, also the most diverse genetically. The other races of Earth, for the most part, have co-mingled with other racial groupings in various ways for millenia. In fact, there have been unique ways of introducting outsider genes to villages/tribes to diversify the pool.

If God made us with the ability to mate and produce fertile offspring with members of different "races" than certainly there is a purpose to that, yes? Or do you merely pick and choose what you think God intended based on your personal biases and preferences?

All Ducks are interfertile, but the different species of Duck like to live apart and breed among their own mostly (Black Ducks and Mallards do mix it up more frequently). So inter-fertility has nothing to do with intentions, whether you want to claim God or nature as the force causing things to be how they are.

I understand your need to justify your own existence, but you really shouldn't sweat it. You are what you are. You don't need to fall for utter nonsense about genetic diversity that is spouted nowadays. I'd encourage you to google this "more diversity within ethnicities than between" them silliness that we hear all the time now and try to track down its origin. I think you'll find its a bunch of hogwash. Especially since it originated years before the human genome was fully mapped (was it even? the two teams don't even agree on how many genes there are).

If God really intended everybody to just breed together at will, He certainly could have helped things along by not making white people Rhesus factor negative in their blood type. Rh- mothers tend to die rather horific deaths when they have Rh+ babies. Interfertility wouldn't go over too well between Rh- people (found almost exclusviely among whites) and Rh+ people (Blacks and Asians, with many whites today also because of interbreeding) for very long.
