Considering the profound and innate difference between races beyond superficial physical characteristics, including intelligence, we can dispense with the idea of ‘ignoring race’ and pretending we’re just individuals without any connection or association with larger collective entities. Mankind is racist, tribal, and socially hierarchical by nature. There is no ‘cure’ for racism or ignoring obvious cognitive and behavioral differences between groups when two or more races come into direct contact within the same environment.

I kicked this topic around a fair amount with John Tooby and Leda Cosmides in the early 2000s. My view has always been that race is broader than just what continent you are from, it's about who your ancestors are. I assume humans have talked about that since the origin of language.
