There is only one race the human race. The differences in shapes, sizes, skin color, etc. that people often regard to race are a result of genetic variation within the human species.

Genetic variations within a species are what races are.

race2 /reɪs/ Show Spelled [reys] Show IPA
noun
1. a group of persons related by common descent or heredity.
2. a population so related.
3. Anthropology .
a. (no longer in technical use) any of the traditional divisions of humankind, the commonest being the caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negro, characterized by supposedly distinctive and universal physical characteristics.
b. an arbitrary classification of modern humans, sometimes, especially formerly, based on any or a combination of various physical characteristics, as skin color, facial form, or eye shape, and now frequently based on such genetic markers as blood groups.
c. a human population partially isolated reproductively from other populations, whose members share a greater degree of physical and genetic similarity with one another than with other humans.
4. a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race.
5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race.


Just because the word is problematic doesn't make it meaningless. In science, the term 'race' also applies to regional variations of other species besides humans.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
