Simply, race is just a social construct: it doesn't exist biologically, and makes little sense socially, due to its subjectiveness.

What fucking sense does that make? I am white, he is latin, he is of asian descent etc. |
None. "Latin" is not a race, but a family language with so much genetic variation among its speakers that it would be reckless to consider it as a "race" (you might as well consider the existence of a "Canadian" race then, for example). "White" doesn't make any sense either, given the fact that a black-haired brown-eyed "white person" would look more similar to a person of "asian descent" than another "white" person.

Are you saying that breeds are a myth too? Are Golden Retrievers and a Pitbulls a myth? Is there no difference between the two? |
Well, their "purity" is sure artificial: most times, it was created thanks to selective breeding, which is artificial process.
This can't be applied to humans anyway, but I could go on, if you want me to.

I love all people, but how can you deny the existence of different races? |
Why wouldn't I?

Yeah you got me. But I am still with Moral Hazard in that there are actual races. I'm just not smart or educated enough to express these thoughts without the massive holes in my argument, pointed out by yourself..
