I need to do a survey where I ask people who many races there are and what those races are. I'm just going to make up the answers, but a few real answers wouldn't hurt.

So...how many races are there and what are they?

Race is an illusion. We are all humans.

Don't be obtuse. While the genetic distinction between races is small and uninmportant for most human concerns, it is real.

5, Each corresponding to its own element (according to native americans and modified version by me)

White - fire clan
Black - water clan
Brown - earth clan
Asian - air clan
Red - aether clan

Last time there was one.

I'm doing this again because I accidentally submitted the damn instructions to the professor instead of the data table. I got some answers that were more surprising than the ones I was just going to make up.

>gene allele frequency
Is a continuous scale, not a discrete yes/no question.

It's like searching for porn using tags, instead of categories. Categories aren't at all precise.

And if you have to resort to genetic study to define your race, you might as well use a binary representation of your whole genome. It's like what, 4GB? Each person is his own race.

Or you can go the 'white' 'black' 'yellow' route.

Each of these ways is valid. You can go all the way up, or all the way down. In the end, the decision to stop moving, and accept a definition for race is personal, and arbitrary.

That's why some people say 'there is no race', not for political reasons.
