Computers cannot cope with illogical concepts such as race. Race as applied in the US is a thousand contradictions trying to justify the emotions of a minority of the population who needs a visibly identifiable underclass to make themselves feel more secure in their position in life. Which is why race makes little sense — it changes over time to suit the needs of whatever political interests exist at any given point. It’s a purely emotional concept with no consistent definition in any physical reality.
