In case you’re ever caught arguing with friends, family or strangers on the internet and sometimes struggle to convince or prove that race is real and meaningful, you can explain it to them thus:
If race didn’t exist then genetic markers would be found spread randomly throughout the entire globe, a “random genetic distribution” in other words. Furthermore, if it were the case that genetic markers were not concentrated or localised to specific geographical areas, then a geneticist or forensic scientist would not be able to determine someone’s ancestral origins just from their genome. Yes, a bit of DNA can be used to tell what your racial origins are with a frightening degree of accuracy.
However, because genetic markers concentrate (or cluster) in specific geographic locations and populations, it proves that races exist. This is known as a “clustered genetic distribution”.
This is a very basic explanation but sufficient for most debates/arguments. Especially for the claim that “Race is a social construct” that was popularised way back in the 1920s by Franz Boas, before genetic studies had come on the scene and before the human genome had been mapped. SJWs and people with an irrational hatred of whites quote an anthropologist from the 1920s, an era from where most ideas are now considered obsolete. They used to take radium supplements back then too but we know now that ionising radiation is highly dangerous.
Boas, as pointed out in the comments, was also a fraud
Recently, two physical anthropologists reanalyzed Boas’s head-form data. They report that Boas—now considered the founding father of modern American anthropology—was wrong. Their findings may lead to a new understanding of human races and the origin of certain ancient skeletons, including the recently discovered Kennewick Man, whose cranial characteristics have stirred controversy among anthropologists.
Of course, heritability is also meaningful but that’s a topic for another day. Just expressing the belief doesn’t mean to imply one race is superior to another (but we know the truth), so you can tell them you’re not a racist for stating it. This seems to be the main argument SJWs like to throw at people, as if race being a social construct somehow justifies white genocide.

And Boas, a Jew, is now known to have deliberately falsified his results to get the answers he wanted. The data he collected, when re-examined, disproved the claim that he made and showed that race and culture were connected.

Just a few facts I like to point out to people that race is a biological reality:
1. Scientists can determine race, sex and more just from skeletal remains.
2. Blacks have more fast-twitch muscles than Whites, which explains their dominance in track & field events.
3. Blacks have more muscle mass and their bones are denser, which is why they’re not so good at sports like swimming, skiing, or diving.
4. Blacks have more teeth in their skull than Whites.
5. White and Asian women have wider birth canals than black women, in order to accommodate larger-headed babies with bigger brains.
6. Black men and women have up to 19% more testosterone than Whites or Asians. Hormones are measured in nanograms and pictograms (billionths and trillionths of a gram), so 19% more is a massive difference, explaining the aggressiveness and impulsiveness of blacks.
7. Researchers at Ohio State University found that the various strains of probiotics living in the mouths of people vary by race and that they could identify the race of test participants with 89% accuracy by just examining a swab from the inside of their cheek.
8. The medical establishment stopped doing cross-racial blood transfusions and organ transplants decades ago because the rejection rates were so high.
9. According to the New York Times, mixed-race people have a significantly harder time finding compatible organ donors because it’s virtually impossible to find another person with the same combination and percentages of racial admixture. Their odds of finding a match can go as high as 1 in 20,000, and they are now trying to start their own donor banks, but the challenge of finding a proper match still remains.
10. That’s just the beginning…..
