We are all humans and there is but one race. what you are speaking of isnt scientific. There are differences in ETHNICITY and culture but scientifically speaking we are all the same species/race

Jut another populist *buzz phrase* in the same manner of the 'emperor's new
clothes' aimed at people who see things as they are and except that there
are differences, rather than pretending they don't exist.....

You arent grasping this I said there are external and body differences thats what ETHNICITY covers. No my friend its you people who still beleive earth is flat who are the issue. If you only look at the outside you never get the entire story. Once again there is one race on this planet. ANd try as you might According to DNA We are all related and of the same Race.
A group of scientists are urging their colleagues to take a step forward and stop using racial categories when researching and studying human genetics.
"It is time for biologists to find a better way," concludes the opening passage of a recently published paper in Science
Furthermore, they point to how the continued use of race in genetic studies has fueled racist beliefs, so much so that leading biologists were forced, in 2014, to refute claims about "the genetic basis of social differences between races."
As such, the team of experts believes that race should be phased out from genetic research and more deliberate language like "ancestry or population" used.
"Language matters, and the scientific language of race has a significant influence on how the public (which includes scientists) understands human diversity,"
That's not to say that race as a construct has no value at all when it comes to scientific study. Yudell and his co-authors agree that, although it contains it's own set of issues, race can be used as a social and political category to better understand inequities and the health disparities therein.
But using race as a category in genomics should be a thing of the past, and Yudell, Roberts, Tishkoff, and DeSalle urge the United State National Academies of Sciences to convene a panel of experts to figure out new tools for looking into human diversity without utilizing the race concept.

The thing is, many of those countries are taking on too many to immigrants to be sustainable. Just look at Germany. It's not racist nor "anti immigrant" to question this. a reply to: BotheLumberJack
No I don't. I've been many times. And yes I know many Germans. I'm also part German. Finally. I worked in and studied international development. We had to study these types of issues extensively. Do you really think that millions of immigrants, many of whom aren't even refugees, coming into Germany extremely rapidly isn't going to have consequences?

This understanding of sustainabilty in these coutries like Germany for instance, where re you getting it from ?
Do you live in Germany ? do you know people that do ?
