    Im not an expert but this is how I see it:

    Genetically, human beings from outside of Africa are more similar to eachother than pretty much every genetic group of humans in Africa (thhey are considered one race though).

    Then you have the fact that when accounting for material conditions and availability of opportunity every study shows that humans tend to perform the same in cognitive ability when differentiating by race (with some exceptions in narrow academic fields and/or small genetic groups such as askenazi jews, which can easily be explained by cultural nurturing).

    This is enough for me to take every argument that is race divisive or race deterministic as absolute garbage.

    I understand that people like familiarity and as such, many people feel more comfortable surrounded by folks that look, talk, smell and act the same way as them and their families, but that is conventional and depends on the particular person.
