I agree with this.
Koreans, Japanese, Chinese...in my experience identify themselves as "races" over "nationalities". All have had extended periods of a certain degree of isolation. There is no science in talking about nationality, but there can be when we see isolated gene-pools in the study of a race.
Yes. No race is "pure".
But I bet if you took an isolated Namibian tribe and a bunch of Japanese you'd have no problem identifying which was Namibian and which was Japanese. 100%.
