Would it not be better

If people were classified by haplogroups, aka "blood tribes"
like A, B, C, etc., than the color system or -few -oid- race-idea (You know what I mean, Australoid, etc...)?
I do not think that the idea of races being based off skin color is very good. And I do not like the -oids either. Because too many people do not match a single group.
I am saying this because I have some friendly U.S. American people friends. And we get along fine.
But they say "I'm just ____" or stuff like that. But they all call themselves one thing but they all look like totally different types of people. I mean, like they would not even be from the same gene pool let alone the same continent.
Do you guys think the -oids and the color scheme classification makes no sense?
I think it should be haplogroup and culture/nationality. Who agrees or disagrees and why?

In the Old Testament of the Bible, and many other civilizations people were grouped by tribe and blood line.

Yeah, it's a better idea. As long as we can keep our nationality and culture.Haplogroups is a good way to organize, and they are very cut and dry. I had my dna tested a year ago, and so did a couple others in my family. It was amazing. Our oral family history ( of what my grandparents on both sides) matched my mtdna test, and my male family members Y test results.

The entire idea of classifying people into groups is stupid. People want to do anything just to prove their superiority to person X or Y.
