>Race is a series of cultural differences and skin pigments that are determined by how close or far people are from the Equator or Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Nothing more.
This is a linguistic argument. You are choosing a meaning of the word that you can argue against.
The truth is, genetic groupings of human populations very closely match colloquial assignment of race. That is NOT something you would expect a priori. If people claimed that star wars or star trek fandom was super important ...those difference would not show up in genes, because those differences are ACTUALLY what you claim race is.
To put that another way, we have one thing that's "real" and another that isn't real. And we have an objective test to distinguish between them. But your worldview is that they're both the same - your worldview is that there's no more reality to race than there is to star wars fandom. But you're wrong.
> Humans are all one species despite genotypical, phenotypical and pigment differences.
Human genetic diversity is greater than the genetic difference between many, many species.
If you were an objective outside observer, and not a human with a very, very strong political reason to say "race isn't real" then the truth would be obvious to you. But because you're a human, and because you fear what will happen to you if you admit "the emperor has no clothes" you pretend it's not real.

>This is complete horseshit.
LOL no. It's peer-reviewed science. Here's a link: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/254111139_Cultural_Variations_in_Children's_Mirror_Self-Recognition
You are way, way over your head here. You have spent too much time on reddit where you never have to encounter someone who can defend the things he believes. You'll probably run back there like a coward. You probably can't handle learning that you're wrong.

At the end of the day not only can you categorize humans into 5 races, those races would be classified as subspecies if it weren't for a combination of humanities arrogance to place ourselves above phylogenetic classification. There are more politics involved for this travesty and why people are so in the dark about anthropology. I am not sure you are ready for that answer either so to avoid my comment being deleted I will stick to biology. The fact that we cannot talk about this openly should actually make you more suspicious why you know so little about the facts I aforementioned and why they choose to silence any dialogue about it.
The instant the races become phylogenetically grouped, as with every other subspecies and biological group on the planet; habitat encroachment, demographic replacement, excessive hybridization, all indisputably become a threat to the existence of a given group these acts are committed against. The only justification required for that group's particular survival is existence for existence's sake. Nature needs diversity for diversity's sake as means for protecting itself against black swan events in ecosystems. In mixed populations, if a threat shows up the outcome would be catastrophic for all species. The same way the extinction of the black rhino through interbreeding, out breeding and habitat encroachment by the white rhino would be a tragedy without needing to say the black rhino is "superior" to the white rhino.
