Basically it asks whether race exists and the answer is "yes" but differences within a group outweigh those between groups, and its not "race" as we know it.

For example, they don't divide people into groups like "Blacks, Whites, Mexicans, Asians" but:

sub-Saharan Africans; Europeans and Asians west of the Himalayas; East Asians; inhabitants of New Guinea and Melanesia; and Native Americans.
