What is Race?

There is no one single answer to the question "What is Race?" but most of the people think race is determined by the physical appearance. Society classify people by race according to some aspects that make a group of people similar. Biologically and based on the documentary "Power of Illusion" race is not what people can see, because in our genes is impossible to found a remarkable difference to tell that race is genetically true.
The documentary strongly shows how is impossible to classify people base on their genes. There are no specific characteristics that only a certain race have. Race is just a false idea that the majority of the society thinks can be defined by physical traits. "Power of Illusion" change my way of seen people, because it makes me feel that race doesn't because we all are part of one single race group of humans that inhabit the world.
