Any books on why the left and right sperg out when the topic of race enters the conversation?

>that unites "white people" besides the color of their skin.
No, they do cluster with each other on PCA autosomal DNA plots.

You realize Middle Easterners are pretty much adjacent with whites, right? They don't overlap, but they are adjacent when you look at all races zoomed out from a PCA autosomal DNA plot.

My issue is that class is just as important as race, and Lynn/Vanhanen's have serious methodological flaws for many countries (e.g., they don't even go take IQ tests in many countries and instead rely on estimates based on GDP). In the case of black people, yes, their race as a whole is kind of stupid. However, every other race is within a continuum except for blacks. Fact is, blacks are a different subspecies of human.

Blacks are a different subspecies, not even a different race.

Race does exist, but it is debatable what distance indicates separate race. You can zoom in and pick out differences autistically or you can zoom out and see all races at once and determine which are closer. Moreover, I consider Subsaharan Africans as a different subspecies.

I said subspecies, not species. Also, when a race is significantly different and not even on a continuum, then it is a different subspecies. Subsaharan Africans are a different subspecies, not race.

Zoom out of a PCA autosomal DNA plot and this is what you get. West Asians are pretty much adjacent with Europeans. All you're doing is zooming and autistically picking out differences. Zoom out to the point you include all races, and you'd see they are adjacent.
