**My understanding (from the reading of copious topics on it right here on the SMDB) of “Race is a myth is:”
To the extent that race is a sociologically or demographically useful category/variable it has no genetic or biological basis.
To the extent that races (“populations”) exist in a biological or genetic sense they do not map into sociologically or demographically useful categories and are generally too small to be useful for sweeping generalizations. **
