"There is only one species" - Go tell that to everyone who suffered any form of racial or ethnic prejudice, discrimination, hatred and violence. Go tell them that race doesn't exist. And then come tell me if it really fixed anything. Scientists have already asserted with evidence that we are all one species, but that's not going to erase racism and ethnic prejudices. We need to talk about race and ethnicity to solve those problems - Not talking about it, like Morgan Freeman proposed, is ignoring the problem and allowing it to grow. Saying Jews aren't race, while biologically accurate, is dismissing every potential experience Jewish people face because of anti-Semitic actions. Islam itself is not a race, but Arab is, and saying it isn't is dismissing experiences of non-Muslim middle easterns who suffered discrimination because society thought they were Muslims
Better yet - Go tell racial supremacists that race doesn't exist and see how much that will work out of you - The only way we are going to embrace the fact we are all one species is by talking and pointing out our ethnic differences and proving it is not a relevant variable. Simply saying that there are no races is giving a pass to any kind of racially based discrimination.

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
