Ah yes, all lovely reasons to love North Korea.

Isn't that contradictory with your ethnic-based views ? Wasn't Tito's Yugoslavia an example (while it lasted...) of a multi-ethnic state where ethnicity didn't matter and everyone was considered a citizen of country regardless of it ?

Of course but I support Tito's policy. It's weird to explain my views, maybe it's just my Yugo bias because it's just a great nation but that Yugoslav is Yugoslav was a great concept. But then again, Serbs, Croats, Slovens, Bosnians are all the same shit, so its logical everyone is Yugoslav. Other nations, not so much

Theres human phenotypes as example etc. So to say it doesnt exist as all is unscientific nonsense.

Genetic code exists - but for every division you try to make between humans, you'll have a greater variation within each groups that between the groups, and you'll have completely arbitrary decisions on how to draw the lines. If you look at some characteristics (like skin color) you'll get some division, but if you look at something else (like blood group) you'll get another, and again if you look at another gene. There has been way too much interbreeding between humans and too short isolation for human races to make a sense scientifically.

The scientific consensus among geneticists is that there is no way to define "races" or "subspecies" among modern humans, apart perhaps (and even that is a minority opinion) for a few very specific small subgroups that were isolated for long.

If you can have subspecies of other mammals, then for humans it's completely possible. Popsci shit just seems to enforce ideology than real research which I hope you dont read. Hell through medicine if you are experienced enough, you can identify who may be what ethnicity through X-Rays of skulls. Although mixing of genetic code and races kind of makes it difficult especially for the americas

Human races make no scientific sense. You can arbitrarily define subgroups, that will have a higher internal variation than difference with other subgroups, and with absolutely no objective way to draw such division, that'll be totally different if you use different criteria to draw the lines.

As for "phenotype" it doesn't mean race, but expression of the genes in a given environment. And that you can have different skin colors as a phenotype for different genes coding for melanin production doesn't mean you can define a classification of modern human into groups that is scientifically meaningful (ie, larger difference between the groups than within the groups and non-arbitrary way of choosing the criteria).

Races don’t exist because they’re frankly stupid.

Hausa people are generally “black” rather than “brown” but are usually genetically closest to Berbers who are almost always listed as “white” than they are to their “black” Fulani neighbors.

Hausas, Pashtuns, and and Italians are all “Caucasian”, even though only one of them are “white”.

Meanwhile, Malagasy people are generally considered “black” despite the fact they genetically should be considered Southeast Asian.
My point is genetic differences exist and certain regions and people of certain skin colors may have general genetic trends and similarities but ultimately race is simply a 15th century myth designed to divide people.

Not for all of them. Subspecies appear when groups are isolated for long enough (in term of generation) compared to their size, and didn't mix again later. Or when they are artificially selected, like in dogs and cows. That doesn't mean they exist for all mammals, and they don't for humans.
