Race is a little bit the issue, because there's no biological basis for the idea that humans aren't just one single species. A genuine observation and appreciation of "race" consists of understanding that humans do not have a single appropriate skin tone, mostly. I'm not sure what else there is for you, but it's not there for me. |

That doesn't change the fact that there are different dog breeds, or different human, well, let's not call them "races" or "breeds", but large vaguely-defined (because they form continuum) groups of distinctly different average appearances.
Edit: just to elaborate slightly, I suspect that if we would undertake a massive gene pool homogenization program (lots and lots of population migrations, cross-whatever marriages and child-bearings), we might in several hundred years arrive at a more or less uniformly skin-toned population in which case one, technically, could term that skin tone as "innately appropriate".
But I personally fail to see any allure in this: what's the point of averaging out the physical differences, they're mostly inconsequential anyway?
