<<<Our eyeballs lead us to think otherwise...>>>

I call it WYSID (What You See Is Deceiving).

For starters there is a over 1 billion Southeast Asians (about 20% of mankind) who are called Asians, have skin color indistinguishable from Blacks in America(north and south), but are classified as Caucasions. Who knows how many Caucasions were conceived with chromosomes originating from Ghengis Kahn not to mention all the chromosomes originating from the effects of spoils left over to his hordes. And, not finally, but where do we place Hispanics in these groupings?

These groupings have no scientific meaning, but to our eyeballs and emotions they wreck havoc.
