    It’s a sensitive topic but white and black people are genetically much more seperated than black and white rhinos which we are happy to describe as separate species.

    That is simply not true

    85% of human genetic diversity exists within local populations. White and black people are genetically less separated than white and white people or black and black people, depending on the specific people. There is much more genetic diversity within populations than between them. A source

    There is essentially no genetic support for the idea of races. They are purely a social construct based on some shallow phenotypical differences, culture, and the prejudices of a given time.
