Races don't exist. There are different genetic markers between ethnic groups tho

There are genes which can be correlated, without one directly causing the phenotype for the other.

Sometimes during meiosis when the chromomes line up in pairs the ends can break off and switch, this is called crossing over

This means a gene passed from your mother's genetic line can become stuck to the chromosome from your father, so chromosome don't stay exactly the same as they are passed generation to generation.

The closer two genes are on the same chromotid, the less likely it is that a break will occur between them so these genes will often remain together even over hundreds of generations.

Hypothetically, if behavioral genes exist in close proximity to, and on the same chromotid as, physical appearance markers for a particular ethnic group, then people who are descendants of that group, and look like that ethnicity are likely to express those behaviors. E.g. white girls like starbucks, black men won't stop killing each other.

This could also explain large IQ differences between ethnic groups.

Wouldn't that basically be what defines a race?

 Quoting myself from Retard123's post "Race does not exist"

PalePeach said:

 The modern concepts of race (white, black, asian) trace back to bible-era sumeria. The 3 ethnicities people in that group met were attributed to the 3 sons of Noah, and the notion spread to include all members of Europe as white, all members of Asia as asian (altho from their perspective they would hev been interacting with Persians Assyrians) and all members if africa as black.

 

The problems with this primative race theory is that

A) it created groups of race based on continental boarders which lumped every ethnic group within those boarders together

B) since people in other parts of the earth have been found, it is difficult to assign these people into any of the 3 established race groups, which were based on ethnic groups far from them.

 

In reality the old idea if race is crumbling away, but with it our understanding of smaller ethnic markers are growing stronger. There are no genes that ALL black people or ALL white people share. But, there are genes that are unique to individual communities (and that's how DNA genotyping [23&me, etc.] works)

So is it real or not?

That depends on how you view genetic markers. 

Seems like a useful construct to have.

 Race is an imaginary construct based on looks. Ethnic groups exist, and this can be proven genetically, but ethnicity and that which is considered "race" are two different things.

It seems like to me that she's explaining how "race" isn't a thing in the broader sense of it, but rather that the traits we take as racial exist as genetic components of culture. 

She then states the difference between how similar and dissimilar genes respond to each other, which doesn't allude to the racial construct despite it's means of coasting on it otherwise. 

Effectively, she's taking what exists as pieces of race and splitting them from the grander assumption.
