as I have pointed out in my blog post:

"
....., the new racism suggested that race was a good “shorthand” to represent the genetic topography. There was nothing wrong to associate race with genes because they were highly correlated. They were just there.

They are wrong. The danger lies exactly in borrowing race to serve genetic purpose.
.....

"Let’s save race as a social term. If geneticists want to describe genetic typography, please invent something new."

See detail in my post.
