Moom, a race is just an identifiable group of people. You can tell an American by their passport for a start. But you can also do DNA analysis, nose measuring, hair curl measurement and lots of other things to define said race.

A race doesn't have to totally exclude all others who have said DNA. For example, some DNA in "Chinese" might also appear in Koreans, or Japanese, but that DNA is still racially "Chinese".

Races are probablistic statistical variations, rather than totally distinct species. They are a lot of fun.

Race, racism and racist are beautifully amorphous words which one can use in many situations. One doesn't need to be too precise with a definition. They mean what one wants them to mean - usually that one is superior to the one who one is calling a racist.

It is fine to say "such and such is a great race", even though that implies other races are inferior to said race.
