As far as I know, race correlates with genetic isolation of ancestral groups, and there are differences between races. People shouldn't be treated differently in civil society based on their race, and who doesn't? But they should certainly be treated differently based on their race by their doctors. Race may become less significant in the future if more genetic mixture occurs with globalization. But for now, to say it has biological significance. However, it is true that the social conception of race is very different from any biologically defensible conception. But 'race' is such a socially charged word, perhaps it should be dropped and replaced with another word.
