But if thats the case, why call it race?

Tradition.

And that is very nearly the sole reason. Almost no other usefulness.

I promise you damn near every American knows exactly what 'race' means. It's on every government form.
Obfuscate if you must but clarity and universal understanding has value.

Then define it for me. It should be amazingly simple. Give me a definition that doesn't include as many exceptions and complications as it does clear definitions.

Bring me a boatload of people and I'll sort them for you. A five year old is almost equally skilled. An Ivy League academic, not so much.

I was just reminded of something that would be really appropriate in this thread. It was sort of an ORLY? moment.
The vast majority of Americans, heck, golf fans in general, think Tiger Woods is the greatest black golfer of all time.
He is significantly more Asian than he is black.
Are you sure you could pick out all the black people? No one else seems to be able to.
