Most people here say that race doesn't exist biologically, and I agree - But I was thinking about how we classify non-Human species. Just think about it - Do Golden retrievers exist? What about German Shepherds? Are dog breeds fake? If so, why do we pay so much for breed dogs and confidently assert that certain breeds have X or Y characteristic, are more prone to Z or Q behavior and are smarter/dumber, etc.? Isn't this making a special pleading? We pretty much do this with lots of species. I don't understand how this works. We do the same with cats - Do Siamese cats exist? What about persians?
And if the categorization we do with animals is valid, and the price we pay for them, the worth we attribute to certain breeds and our preferences for some breeds over others (basically "racism"), why do we make an exception for Humans? Are we special?

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
