Yes. Now is the time to stop - rolling back territories to previous lines requires :

a) those 'lines' to be definable and to have existed
b) an ability to make the change

It's funny but our notions of race exist as snapshots of who was controlling what in the 19th century. See, I actually believe in the melting pot - I'm it. I've got everything from Irish, Scot, English, German, French, African, Native American in my tree somewhere. SO, what race am I? Not one that includes over 2 billion people. If people insist on naming differences, about the only ones that make sense are hair color (I have skin with some grey/brown fringe), skin color (I'm tan to beige depending upon where you look ), and other of those "obvious markers" or place of origin (I'm an California-American). Anything else seems impracticable.
