To do is considered racist by many people. To do so is to buy into a very dangerous pseudo-scientific ideology called "Eugenics".

Race is and always has been a politically constructed, socially and regionally relative, historically located, not fixed, phenomenon designed to oppress some groups of people.

The continent of Asia contains many hundreds of ethnicities.

Africa is not populated by "one race" of people.

Blackness is historically created, as is Whiteness. Indigenous/Native people can be ANY color or ethnicity. "Hispanic" is a term created by the U.S. Government and functions, in part, to increasingly disappear Native Americans from census reports.

"Hispanic" was coined in the early 1970s by the United States government to classify diverse people with a relationship to the Spanish language or culture. The term is used to describe people who were born in any Spanish-speaking country of the Americans, or those who can trace their lineage to Spain or Spanish territories. This includes a vast number of people of diverse countries and ethnic groups. Many Hispanics would rather view themselves according to their distinct identity, in contrast to the broader label of Hispanic. (source: link )

"Colored" used to mean "Black" in the U.S., but not racist South Africa.

"Black" is what Aboriginal people in Australia are called by Aussie whites. U.S whites don't call Aboriginal people "Black".

"Aryan" and "Jewishness" were races in 1930s-40s Germany, but not since. And "Jewishness does not equal "Judaism". Judaism is a religion. Jewishness is an ethnicity, a heritage, a cultural and political experience, and can be found among all people across the globe, including Asians, Africans, and Europeans.

Ethiopia has had a Black Jewish culture for ages--not a white Jewish one. Ashkenazim, Sephardim, and Mizrahim are not "white" by "white nationalist/white supremacist" definitions. But in the U.S. generally, beyond the rigid and ridiculous racism of white supremacists, Ashkenazi Jews are white. Some Sephardic Jews pass as white, as do some Latina/os, some of whom are Sephardic Jews. Mizrahic Jews are never considered white, anywhere. This is all part of a racist political reality.

RACE isn't really genetic. It's designed to maintain oppression based on an idea of "racial differences". There aren't "Asian genes" and "Black genes" and "White genes". Any genetic issues among ethnic groups doesn't warrant there being "discretely defined races".
