I haven't taken biology in a long ass time so I might get some of this wrong. As I understand it the concept of a race refers to gene frequincies in a population, and the different races are often defined by their inherited characteristics determined by these gene frequencies.
Would you deny that all people are born with certain characteristics from different family members? Studies of twins separated at birth show that they can have identical characteristics even if they grew up in different cultures. So if a person has a strong racial family history (I am not referring to people who are a plethora of different races) of liking strawberries with whipped cream would they not be more likely predisposed to liking strawberries with whipped cream.
Do they have a choice on whether they like strawberries and whipped cream? Or at the moment they were conceived in the back of a pick up truck it was destined that they would like strawberries with whipped cream?
