Why race exists

Being a 17 year old from a town in far Northern California where it´s divided into conservatives & liberals, I have to say that my experience with talking about race with people always leads to confusion & controversy, for example I was at a conference down south, & I Mentioned about race, & they said that race doesn´t exist.

Most of the people I talk about race believe that race is about self-identification, so take the Cherokee chief ¨Bill John Baker" is 97% Caucasian + 3% Native American, he looks totally German, how can he be Native American, when he isn´t even anywhere near 60% of that race, Obama identified as African American, but he´s a Mulatto, he looks like both of his parents, but his daughters are 75% African & 25% Caucasian, so they are African Americans, because they are over 60% African.

Many Race-Deniers & Liberals enjoy to alter the meaning of race, & believe that all Humans are one race, the reason why race wasn´t known before colonial times as much was because the races were in their original areas, before immigrating, colonizing, invading, & spreading out throughout this world.


This is a genetic map of the races of the Human species, there are five races in this map - African, Caucasian, Oceanian, East Asian, & Native American.

According to my DNA test, I´m 65% Caucasian + 31% Native American, 3% African, & less than 1% Oceanian.

I respect & love all races, I´m not a racist, I believe that everybody is equal, but we still can´t deny our human differences, instead of focusing the negative of race, why see the positive of race.
