I think you're again misunderstanding me.

I agree that there isn't an "Asian" race or "White" race. In fact you'll find that I find the notion of race outdated. But I completely disagree that there are measurable, clear, consistent physical distinctions between nations within a region. Nor are there clear consistent GENETIC distinctions between humans as a whole that seperate us into "race". (The regional similarities I talk about are concerning a particular gene or genes, but not overall. And like I said before they aren't consistently found in all the people within a region, rather they are more numerous in some regions than in others.)
