How can you say definitely wrong, when it's something that has been debated by scientists for many years?

According to Wikipedia:

Since the 1940s, some evolutionary scientists have rejected the view of race according to which any number of finite lists of essential characteristics could be used to determine a like number of races. For example, the convention of categorizing the human population based on human skin colors has been used, but hair colors, eye colors, nose sizes, lip sizes, and heights have not. The general opinion among the vast majority of scientists is to reject the notion that common race definitions, or any race definitions pertaining to humans, have any taxonomic rigour and validity.[3] Mainstream scientists have thus argued that race definitions are imprecise, arbitrary, derived from custom, have many exceptions, have many gradations, and that the numbers of races observed vary according to the culture examined. They further maintain that "race" as such is best understood as a social construct, and they prefer to conceptualize and analyze human genotypic and phenotypic variation in terms of populations and clines instead.
