Personally, i totally oppose the idea that human "races" exist.

Animal races are the result of the artificial selection of particular species during hundreds or thousands of years. There are no races in the wild, only animals bred by humans have races.

I don't accept the theory that humans have applied an artificial selection to themselves, to me there are no human races, only one human species.

Furthermore, there are no such thing as a "pure" human "race". The human species appeared in Africa several millions of years ago, all humans are descendants of that original group. The fact that there are so many different human groups on the planet now can actually be seen as a very "unpure" situation, blending all human groups that currently exist on the planet into one would actually take us closer to the original "purity".

Anyway, we are not cats or horses whose races have to be kept pure because of whatever usage we have for them.
