Counter-argument: Koreans and Nigerians aren't "races". They're ancestral population groups.

Me: You're right that they're not continental races. But continental races (e.g., European, Sub-Saharan African) can also show substantial average genetic distance from each other, and that same professor who argues that race is purely a social construct is going to also argue that there is no biological basis for arguing that Koreans and Yorubans are non-superficially biologically different. Perhaps we can agree that comparisons between population groups ought to be made at the most scientifically precise level possible?
