Now if "Japanese" isn't a race then nothing is. The vast majority of Japanese are identifiable on a genetic level due to the relative isolation of the country. Same goes for Inuit who were geographically and culturally isolated.
> Middle Eastern and European are better examples.
If you're talking some stereotypically Polish person compared to some stereotypically Arabic person from Egypt, obviously, but there's cases where ordinary Turkish people look more "European" than some groups of Europeans do.
The bell curve on these things is just too wide, there's nothing but overlap in all but the most extreme fringes.
If we are talking about white/black voice difference, then it is meaningful.

Race is just a more broad concept than an ethnic group, that's what I mean.

That's what I meant when I said that it would be easier if you take groups 100 hundred people, it averages out. And yeah, Europeans and Arabs are white, so there is little difference between them.

Yes, "cline" is a better description than "race" but it is not as useful in daily life as "race" is.
Or a right-wing solution if you like direct democracy and societal cohesion.
