I'm not sure what you're smoking, but that isn't true at all. The different races actually cluster pretty close together genetically.

They cluster extremelt far. There is more diversity in Europe than there is in all of Africa. Diversity being unique genetic mutations found nowhere else.

That's called "Lewontin's fallacy", and is incorrect. That is only true when you measure individual alleles. However, genes do no evolve alone, they evolve together, which creates correlations between alleles that are unique to races and ethnic groups. That's how gene testing companies are able to tell you your race and ethnic group. Those correlations and genes are very similar to each other by every measure, and very distant to other racial and ethnic groups. This is all very well understood.
