In the case of man is the meaning of talking about race? Man like other animals should also be subject to biological systematization. Is the biologist who talks about the breed is worth listening to, since he does not know biological systematics? From this, draw conclusions and qualities such as the ability of abstraction. After all, white people can not abstain. We learn this by learning logic.
This is a methodological and ethical problem. The question of systematization and the conclusion of the conclusions. On the basis of systematization, do I have the right to claim properties? I do not think so.
It is problematic whether, from the fact of systematization, practical conclusions can be drawn. But people are different from animals, but the Nazis have compared human society to animals, such as Gobineau. I did not hear about the Bengal tiger competing for the Siberian tiger niche
But men direct passions, no fame, profit, admiration. In family relationships we also behave differently. On the one hand, we can not compare to animals because they are not as passionate as they would rather hunt and try to survive. People have done the notion of honor, dignity, and for these reasons we also kill. If we look at a species and compare it with another, we behave like species in species, exemplified by nationalist or Nazi views. Yes, within the individual species there is competition for a partner, wins stronger, but does not come to the interspecies. Nami human animal rationale, direct the desire and passions, material and physical needs.

I think that race has little relevance to science. Categorizing people by their appearance has little value. Categorization by cultural and ethnic background is more more relevant to science.
