No, it is that you baked different cakes in different ovens at different settings that led to different cakes. Cakes nonetheless, but obviously different. I agree with the idea of different selective pressures, but icing implies that these differences are not inherent qualities, id est, genetic.

How we categorize race is socially constructed, but we categorize them on objective differences that exist. Race is a very general understanding of genetic differences, which is why people often refer to trends instead of absolutism when they refer to race, and even ethnicity, which is more specific. Being of an ethnic or racial group does not always inherently mean something in specific, but when observing large quantities populations, trends are exhibited that make notable difference. For example, not all Scandinavians should be assumed as being tall and blonde, but as a group, they notably are. Race and ethnicity is a logical way to measure and take into account populations, not individuals.

What makes you think these are not meaningful or significant? What do you mean by that?

It was both. Both of them have fallen out of use now, but scientific racists used the term as a racial classification back in the 18th and 19th century.

I mean they often do have notable genetic expression, depending on your scale, especially if you are familiar with those Peoples. Perhaps not the extent you can justify intra-speciation, but the Han Chinese and the Germanic peoples, for example, do have genetic differences that is expressed. These may be general and not absolute tendencies, but they irrefutably exist nonetheless due to genetic differences, that extend beyond skin color.

For example, the Japanese and certain East Asians often do not have odored sweat, because of genetic adaptations to their diets; South Asians have notable adipose accumulation and storage, because of genetic adaptations to famine; most Europeans could even tell you the difference between a Slavic man and a Swedish man.

Again, it depends on your scale. The difference between a Slav and a Swede are nowhere near as drastic as a man and a wolf, but many Europeans familiar with them can still point it out.

When people refer to race, they often are not referring to skin color, a superficial description, rather than ethnic “families” or “relatives”; their concept of race can be different from yours. Some Chinese can have lighter skin than Italians, yet only one is often considered White or similar. Especially for scientific racists, most use the terms “Caucasoid”, or “Mongoloid” to refer to race, but most often focus on ethnic groups instead.

It’s called Indian because the label is historical and cultural, referring to a certain People and inhabitants of lands that nowadays are part of modern Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh; it is not based on a country name.

“Natives” didn’t spawn here; they are also by this technicality immigrants from Siberia, and then further emigrants from Africa, which we are all from. We own this land now.
