It ain't a scientific one.

Some remedial reading for that teacher...

There Is No Such Thing as Race at the Genetic Level The part of the human genome that makes our skin and hair look different is tiny compared to what we share. Race is 100% a social construct, though it is still being used as a biological category.

In part, and in part not.

Race is a thing, but not a definitive thing. It is very muddled - especially in the Americas.
