Question

I'm not quite sure I understand your question. Since the genome project, science has discarded the concept of "race" entirely. There is only commonality of genetic markers. For instance, I am a white male. I have more in common genetically with a black male than I do with a white female.

You might ask your question in the context of skin color, since that is just a genetic marker and since some people still put a non-proportional amount of importance to it. But scientifically, there really is no such thing as "race". There's not even a "human race", but a "human species".

This is going to come as quite a shock to all the racial supremascists, once someone gets them to go to school and take science.
