"modern genetics has completely falsified these racial taxonomies, demonstrating that race is a social construct rather than a biological reality."

the USA has races

The United States has a racially and ethnically diverse population, with White individuals constituting the majority at approximately 63.4% (210.9 million) and Black or African American individuals at 12.4% (41.1 million).

Hispanic or Latino people represent the largest minority group at 19.0% (63.1 million), while Asian Americans account for 5.8% (19.4 million).

Multiracial individuals make up 10.7% (35.6 million) of the population, a rapidly growing segment that includes American Indian and Alaska Native (0.9%), Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (0.2%), and those selecting "some other race" (6.6%). The U.S. Census Bureau categorizes race and ethnicity separately, allowing residents to identify with one or more racial groups.
