^Like how retard and idiot both started off as scientific terms but became slurs?
Ja, science totally comes from a place of Western bias.

Correct, so they're not different species. There're still great enough differences between various races that they need to be addressed though. That's not really the question though, is it?

wtf lol that's probably the stupidest analogy i've ever heard

Well not really, we all have an extremely similar genome, but across races the way that it's expressed is quite different. So this is quite similar to having a similar source such as a word processor to result in two entirely different outcomes, like a scifi or a biographical novel. It doesn't apply to your point because I had misinterpreted it, but if you were saying that there's little to no basis for basing race off of due to lack of genetic disimilarity like I thought you were, the way that it's expressed (or used, in the word processor analogy) is enough to dictate a different race.
