Biological race does not, indeed, exist. Really at all. Defining it as a many-dimensional spectrum just so you can to continue to use the word "race", now that is torturing semantics.

The semantics I am referring to are the suggestion that "white" and "black" exist as races on a genetic level.

The example I am introducing is to test the understanding behind that suggestion.

Self identified race/ethnicity correlates highly with ancestry. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1196372/

It is therefore correct to suggest that race does have a biological basis.
