you'd be better off without one, my grandmother shot one husband and sliced another from shoulder to hip, as a people we're pretty even tempered but once we're pushed too far or threatened, be gone, because we are not at all nice when we dole out the punishment
I know and I recognize that, my step-mother is half native, she's very temperamental with my father, but that's because he's a complete drunk jerk, and I don't talk to him anymore because of it, but she's beat the fuck outta him several times. I just can't get over the beauty of some native women, their cultural background just adds even more to it for me.

It's the same species adapted to different climates. 99.9% of all humanity shares the same genes. That remaining 0.1% has to be divided between everything from person A has can roll his tongue and person B can't, to A is white and B is black. There isn't enough of a genetic difference for humans to be biologically classified as different races.

Don't you mean different species?
I look at different races as I do different strains of marijuana.

No I mean race. There has to be a certain percentage (not sure what it is off the top of my head) of genetic difference within a species for it to be divided into races. There isn't enough of a difference amongst humans.

There's obviously enough of a difference for us all to look so different.
And for scientists to be able to determine through genetic testing that Native Americans descended from ancient Asians, or that aboriginal Australians are more closely related to Europeans than black Africans.
I'm not saying race is a basis for discrimination, but I am saying that genes play a role if I can look at someone and determine what continent, or even a specific region of a continent that their bloodline is from.
If we share over 99% of our DNA, then that tiny slice that makes the color of our skin, the colors of our eyes, shapes of our ears, our noses, our faces, our overall body shapes must contain a lot of varying information around the world.
And 99.9% may not be as much as you're thinking, we share over 99% of our DNA with chimpanzees. Obviously, those little slices control a shitload.

So then, are we just considered different strains just as I mentioned with the comparison with marijuana strains then? As there are very distinct differences.

We only share about 96% with chimps. The little slices do control a lot and that was my point. They control such a massive range of things that the "racial" variation that they do control is miniscule in comparison to the rest of the things they control, and not enough to biologically classify humans into different races even though there is some genetic variation. Other species can be biologically divided into races, but not humans.

LOL, he does actually have a point though, I see it.
Greys(aliens) are a separate race of our own(Human), but all humans are of the same race, that being human.

Visually there are distinct differences, but not genetically. Visually is enough for a social construct, but not for a biological construct. I guess you could use the strain comparison, different strains are bred for specific properties, and different humans are adapted to specific climates.

I was just reading about the difference between chimp and human DNA and saw that more recent tests have confirmed that its at about that level, but that a lot of the differences are "junk" DNA...
And you may be right, that the amount of difference isn't enough to classify humans as different races, when you're looking at other species for comparison. People think that humans came from a small population group originally, explaining why we don't have as much variation. But if you consider this and define the cutoff for different races or breeds or whatever at a lower threshold than other species, suddenly bam, there's genetic reason to say there are different races.
Take a 5 foot bronze skinned Chinaman, a 6 foot blonde haired blue eyed German, and a 4 foot black as night pygmie.
In any other species, you would look at that clearly as different races, or breeds. You wouldn't need arguments about genetics, you could just look at it and say hey, these groups are obviously extremely different in appearance, they are obviously different races.
