Race is not a level of biological division that we find in anatomically modern humans. There are no subspecies in the human beings that live today.
The anthropologist says, “And that’s quite shocking to a lot of individuals. When you look and you think you see race, to be told that no, you don’t see race, you just think you see race. That it’s based on your cultural lens, that’s extremely challenging.

A sample citation example from a website: What is a hate crime? According to the FBI, A hate crime is a traditional offense like murder, arson, or vandalism with an added element of bias. For the purposes of collecting statistics, the FBI has defined a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” Hate itself is not a crime—and the FBI is mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties. 1
