"Race" is indeed a specific scientific term. Look it up (
Race | Define Race at Dictionary.com), and you'll find that it is no longer used to refer to Caucasians, Asians, etc., though it used to be back in ye olden days. Race does refer to different "sub-species" in a species, however humanity is scientifically classified as one, singular race. Also, if you read my post again...

Read the book I recommended ("The Race Myth: Why We Pretend Race Exists in America" by Joseph Graves), look into all of the variety of studies that have been done on the subject, actually inform yourself of the situation instead of just reckoning.
I know it's hard for you to believe, but humanity is one race. We're all in this together. And while the sub-races of humanity do have differences, they're insignificant at most, and intelligence has never been linked to sub-racial backgrounds. Now, instead of just responding with another "I'm right and you're wrong" post, just look up the subject and inform yourself.

... you'll find that everything you just wrote was a paraphrase of what I originally wrote. We're in agreement here, friend.
