Your argument in a nutshell: "I've cherry picked all the data I could find that supports what I already believe, therefore I am right and you are wrong."
Seriously, you really didn't read up on this topic at all. You just claim the science backs you up and try throwing in words that make it seem like you know what you're talking about. I'm going to get real blunt here and say that you just don't know anything about the topic at all. Seriously, you keep insisting on your points without actually linking anything meaningful. You've linked the same two articles at least twice now, and the one that you linked just now actually says the opposite of what you're arguing, which proves to me that you can't read.
Don't believe me? Here it is:
“There are many, many who claim these use of (racial) categories may not have any biological meaning, only social meaning, and basing medical decisions on them may be problematic,” said David Magnus, director of the Stanford Medical Center for Biomedical Ethics.
“But the more we know genetically, the more we know these social categories don’t correspond to genetic groups,” Magnus said.
So stop pretending like you know this subject better than the people who actually study it.
(Yeah, I am aware that I run the risk of getting a warning or banned for this response)

You can't get banned.You didn't actaully post anything. After accusing him for doing what you then do yourself, you give two statements. One says that some people think that race is a social construct (It is of course) followed by a common sense assessment that says that we still have to be aware that people have genetic differences. No shit.
Then you completely destroy that argument by saying that indeed race is a social construct, and we know this by studying genetics.
You Sum Posted Nothing. Why Would You get Banned?

I'm not doing what he does, if you're assuming I'm cherry picking data. You don't really find much that says that biological race is a real thing. It's very easy to find the piles of data that support what I've been saying. I only supplied one source since really it should be enough when the opposing side hasn't provided a single scientific source that actually supports their thesis.
If you're assuming I was arguing that race doesn't exist as a social construct either, then that's incorrect. It certainly does.
It's kind of hard to understand quite what you were trying to tell me.
The reason I was saying I could get banned is because of the way I phrased it.
