How the concept of human races is considered to be racist?

The concept of human races is considered to be racist by many reasons. The racism is usually defined as views, practices and actions reflecting the believe that humanity is divide into distinct biological groups called races and members from a certain race share certain attributes wish make the group as hole desirable, more desirable, inferior o superior.

When a person tries to classify the human species is probably that is going to be an act of racism for the public eyes. It is going to be an act of racism because now days the only a normal person could do for human species would be: classifying the religion, the skin color,  and by their nationality When you are going to try to classify human races but their religion it is going to be an act of racism because the person will be discriminated by dividing them, and also showing what person is from a certain religion making them entered humanity to get divided from the persons from the other religions.  When a person tries to classify human races by their skin color in going also an act of racism because you will be saying that the black people or white people will have a different characteristics, influencing that the groups with different skin colors will begin to discriminate people from another skin color and feel superior towards them.

                                

The nationality would be another act of racism because people from other countries feel that their country is better than the other people and will create discrimination to those countries.  People will create a feeling of inferiority and superiority between the countries.

The concept the human races is also considered to be racist because the religion (the bible) says that god create all the humans equal. It is also considered racist because the United Nations says that all the humans are equal and that no-one has the right to treat another person with inequality. As a conclusion we could say that human races can only be determined by the genetic information, not by their skin color, nationality by their religion, or by a daily person. Every single person in the world, no matter if their black, yellow, white, we are all fully the same, the only thing that makes us different is are social status,  and physical aspects, but in the inside all work the same.

“Before God we are all equally wise  -and equally foolish”.- Albert Einstein

The concept of human race

HUMAN RACE

Race is a classification system used to categorize humans into large and distinct populations or groups by heritable phenotypic characteristics, geographic ancestry, culture, history, language, physical appearance, ethnicity, and social status.  Now days we use the term taxonomy to look for genetic differences among the population.Some scientist use the term race or taxonomy because they think there is  a difference between all humans while there are some scientists that think that all humans belong to the same species, Homo sapiens. Social conceptions and groupings of races vary over time, involving the taxonomies that define essential types of individual. Scientists consider biological essentialism obsolete, and generally discourage racial explanations for collective differentiation in both physical and behavioral traits. There are many genes but most of people contain the same from others, the hair color, there physical similarities. As sciences says we all come from the same place, the same ancestors, at list all humans most have 1 gene in common with the rest humans..A human race is a group of people ( more than 1 thounsand) that share more than 59% of genes. There are many groups of humans that share genes like African people share the gene for the black skin, is an adaptation but the body takes it like a gene for that future generations of kids don’t have to go throw the process of adaptation, they ar eborn with that gene.  Think it or not you share more than 25% of your genes with everybody around the world because we all come from the same place, well that’s long time ago, but humans get more genes and they constantly are change them for adapt to their daily places they are.

Below here you will see the types of classification for humans. The one you may hear the most is Homo sapiens.

Eukarya 

Animalia
Chordata
Mammalia
Primates
Hominidae
Homo
Sapien (sapiens)
Sorry if you're confused, I'm sure you've heard of the term Homo Sapien, instead of calling us Homo Sapiens, our current name is Homo Sapien Sapien.
Eukarya - Cells with a nucleus
Animalia - Not an Autotroph (can't produce it's own food) Actually it is because we are multi-cellular, mobile and internally digest our food, and the term is heterotroph but some bacteria are also heterotrophic but are not animals.
Chordata - Has a backbone
Mammalia - Has hair, produces live young, feeds young milk.
Primates - Opposable thumb
Hominidae - Walks upright
Homo - The same, alike
Sapien - Wise

   

Between this four girls, is there any genetic difference?  There are physical, a normal person is able to find around 15 physical and metal differences, but how many can we find genetically.

Now day the society creates its own classification of human race. Humans have evolved since the beginnings of their journey.  We have created ways to classify our self.  Some people think because you’re from another country you will be another race from them but maybe you could have more than 60% of your genetic  alike to the people from that country.  People especially classify by the person skin color. But can that concept be change, maybe. Some effort you can change it.

Human Taxonomy 

To understand what's human taxonomy we first need to learn about  humans and then about taxonomy to understand what is human taxonomy. Humans are homo sapiens and they belong to the kingdom Animalia, to the phylum  chordata, to the class mammalia, to the order primates, to the family hominidae, to the genus homo and to the species sapiens. Most scientist say that humans originated in Africa where they reached anatomical modernity about 200000 years ago and began to exhibit a complete behavioral modernity 50000 years ago. Humans have an evolution process many years ago to reach the humans we see today, this evolution could be explained in the following timeline:

 

Now that we know about humans so now let's take a look of taxonomy. Taxonomy is the part of science which has as an objective to define groups of biological organisms on the the basis of shared characteristics and giving names to does groups. The groups created through this process are referrers to as taxa which means singular taxon. Now that we know a little bit about humans and taxonomy lets go on and talk about human taxonomy. Human taxonomy is the classification of the species  Homo sapiens which is modern human. Homo  is the human genus.  Modern humans are the subspecies of  Homo sapiens sapiens, differentiated from a direct ancestor, Homo sapiens idaltu the current scientific classification of humans, scientists have made various tries to classify humans. They have given  various definitions of the human being and various points of view  for classifying types of humans. Biologists once classified races as subspecies, now a days to classify human species is very difficult because you may be accused for racism which in some places is prohibit to be racist. Today the only thing we know about human taxonomy is that the human species could be classified by: religion, skin color, nationality, physical aspects ( fat, skinny…) and by social class.
