As far as I understand it, a race is just a population that is on it's way to speciation, and so where you draw the line between who is of the same race and who is of different races is a man-made decision, and so you could draw the line pretty much anywhere, hence it can be abused like this. But I could be wrong about the science of it, I'm only an A-level Biology student.
