What are your thoughts on Clarence Thomas and this quotation from him? (from https://archive.li/pS4ck ):

"These guys are sitting there watching the destruction of our race while arguing about Ronald Reagan," Thomas said. "Ronald Reagan isn't the problem. Former president Jimmy Carter was not the problem. The lack of black leadership is the problem."

Also, what about those that would group not under skin color, but under people with strong related genes, such as most Sub-Saharan Africans in one broader group, people of European descent in another, East Asians in yet another, etc.? Which is for instance used in criminal investigations, where investigators can determine such groups purely by looking at the skeleton of a victim (they can also determine gender by looking at such skeletons). Something which also indicates whether people will have complications reg. which variations of medicine. And then there is the IQ differences between different people, even after adjusting for socio-economic factors. Etc.

And do you consider stuff like 13/52 to be something arbitrary and irrelevant?
