16. Today most scientists

study human genotypic and phenotypic variation using concepts such as "population" and "clinal gradation". Many contend that while racial categorizations may be marked by phenotypic traits, the idea of race itself, and actual divisions of persons into races, are social constructs".

4. Ah, more Divide and Conquer tactics.

Edited to add:

BTW, when I was a pup, there were three of these political categories called races. They were Oriental, Negroid, and Caucasian.

The most things change, the more they stay the same.

7. At Obama's headquarters in Manchester, NH.....

On Christmas Eve, I couldn't just say "Merry Christmas", because when I looked around the hall that we call our "phonebank" room", I saw white people, black people, Asian people, Latino people, Middle Eastern people and a few whose ethnicity I couldn't really identify. I think that's why "Happy Holidays" is always the best bet. NH isn't just caucasian. It certainly isn't in Manchester. Change happens here, too.
