seems the idea of race comes up when different groups clash, specially when one side needs the other to step out of the way... in south/central america entire groups were exterminated during colonization, and lots of new "races" were "born" in the conflicts... it helps justify the violence when you define the other as "essentially" different... now if an alien race show up on earth trying to enslave us, then we can argue that we're all the same in the universe, brothers in carbon, or whatever is we're made of... hopefully they'll already believe that, so we're bros already...

Kind of offtopic but maybe not all life is carbon based.

Trump will lead the Carbon Army versus the Silicon Army in an epic battle for domination of all the light matter and light energy in our universe.

Carbon Army for carbon armored robots and Silicon Army for liberal women?

There may be some life that is not carbon based, but its likely that any complex life will be due to its abundance and versatility.
