"Race" isn't a matter of "skin color". Race is a matter of relatedness. It is, essentially, a huge extended slightly inbred family. In the same way my sibling and I have more ancestors in common--and more recently--than either of us does with any other human on the planet, a white person and I have more ancestors in common--and more recently--than either of us has with any other human of a different race on the planet. So race is "family" and, like family, it matters a very great deal.
The people who taught us that race is meaningless or, against our lying eyes, doesn't exist were members of a hostile race that is uniquely committed to genocide.
