I don’t get what you are trying to claim here. There are well known differences between races (e.g. lactose tolerance) that are minor but medically relevant.

I think OP is trying to say something like, "The variance between groups is less than the variance among them"
And that the racial categories used politically and socially don't always map cleanly to genetic categories used by scientists (thus "75 percent of Pacific Islanders" rather than 100%).

But in some (carefully defined) cases they get close.
