There are two groups of humans living today: Africans and non-Africans

The variables within the human species have never been enough to classify humans into sub-species (which is what "race" would be).

We just learned more about the variables and this development does show greater difference between humans but we're still far away from tweaking the work of Linnaeus.

Subspecies
a subdivision of a species: such as
a : a category in biological classification that ranks immediately below a species and designates a population of a particular geographic region genetically distinguishable from other such populations of the same species and capable of interbreeding successfully with them where its range overlaps theirs
b : a named subdivision (such as a race or variety) of a taxonomic species

The criteria for grouping subspecies is not clearly defined and is actually very arbitrary. There are obviously geographic variations within the human species. Humans meet the criteria for subspecies classification but we aren't divided that way largely due to ideological reasons. There are separate classified species that have less genetic differences between them than the average differences between human individuals.

Government policy should not be shaped around race. Knowing that groups are in fact different, we should be less susceptible to claims that differences in group average outcomes are proof of racism, oppression or other wrongdoing that must be remedied, and more able to resist demands for bad government policies based on these false claims.

No, race is a completely meaningful classification system that's been purposefully misconstrued by liberals. Historically, mainstream race concepts, whether political or other in nature, never referred to strict speciation any more than the concept of a golden retriever vs an English bulldog refers to speciation. That being said, Golden Retrievers an English Bulldogs are both unique breeds with very different abilities, needs, and valid reasons for independent continued existence.
