1) Taxonomy isn't an exact science, and it is known for its flaws, largely because it is a labeling system for convenience. 2) As taxonomy isn't perfect, and there are overlap between populations, including gene flow (the passing of genetic information between populations), the "purity-based" model of "race" is not fit for purpose, however, a "continuum-based" model of "ethnicity" is, because it acknowledges the overlap.
And what is a model supposed to do? Describe reality as best as possible, which race doesn't do, but ethnicity does, or at least does better.
Not really that complex.

I actually had to debunk this on /his/ the other day twice, I could do it but I probably won’t because you don’t care about science or facts and, like the postmodernists you hate, only care about your delusional world view. This thread is already full of schizos and pseudo
You wouldn’t even read the studies if I put them in front of you, so why bother

I am sorry comrade Houston but finger slip and pod float away what could I do
