Also, one would have to define "race" in genomic terms. Good luck to the person attempting to do that.

Is that really that hard? A $100 genetic test will tell you what race(s) you are.

Will it? Sure, you can predict from where your ancestors came, haplotype, etc.

But define race in a genomic sense. It's a feat that key genomic experts have not yet been able to accomplish. For instance: http://ewanbirney.com/2019/10/race-genetics-and-pseudoscienc...
