Now granted race the differences based on race and physical properties are minisicule, but some are scientifically documented, like white mans predisposition to get sunburns. However these differences are really minisicule and hardly reason to judge anyone on anything but they do exist.
There isn't scientific consensus that humans can be divided into "races", however I feel that most of those scientists just don't like the word "race" and the negative connotations that come with it (i.e. racism). There are clear differences between certain sets of humans that seems to be genetic, and denying those differences is dangerous. Whether you call it race or not is irrelevant IMO.
Disclosure: At university one of my friends was a biology PhD student who has done lots of work on human taxonomic diversity so I'm probably slightly biased towards his research in this matter.
