No, they don't. They're different breeds, not different species.

Race is just the polite word for breed.

Taxonomy isn't an exact science, but the genetic range and morphological differences among human breeds is particularly narrow compared to most mammals thanks to a nasty genetic bottleneck known as the Toba Catastrophe around 74,000 years ago or so, when the species was reduced to maybe a dozen extended families. If we were any closer we'd be able to pass cancers to one another the way Tasmanian devils can.

We get this same /pol/ thread every three days though.
