The truth is there are great genetic differences between individuals but they are as much or as more so between members of what is called one race than those of different races. Particularly if you define races as say black or Asian. The West Africans are as different from the East Africans as they are from Arabs or Basques. And individual West Africans are generally more genetically different from each other than they are from Asians or Aborigines. It is therefore true that genes matter but racial stereotypes are meaningless.

And MikeUK your quote from D'Maistre is mainly more about cultural and tradition as about race.
