No, humans are one species that comprises several races.

we
are one species.

You're wrong.

**Nope.

Shut up until you learn what you're talking about.

Are you

familiar with "dictionary"?

**Indeed. I am also aware of the often arbitrary meanings applied to

The concept of 'race' as applied to humans, is simply wrong.
Fundamentally,
any human may breed with any other human. There is bugger all genetic
difference between widely spaced groups of humans. That fact, alone, makes
the concept of 'race' just plain silly.

More and more, as time goes by,
intermarriage (brought on by more possibilities of cross
societal contact in the modern world) will make
race irrelevant.
