[YOU SAID] "That said, communal identity is a valuable thing"
That's were I disagree.
In reality. Values of a groups is nothing more that someone's IDEA of how people should live and behave.
Here is how this so called "Community Identity" is created.
STEP 1: An indivdual comes up with an idea on what THEY THINK is BEST for everyone else.
STEP 2: The individual markets and sells that idea to a "Test Market" to see if the idea will be accepted. This is just a small group of people.
STEP 3. The individual finds ADOVCATES from the small test market of the idea.
STEP 4. The ADOVATES then help PROMOTE and SELL other people in the group the idea.
In order to determine if something is valuable. We must break it down to figure out the process it took to become valuable.
I'LL REPEAT BROTHER.
I DO NOT WANT SOMEONE CREATING "MY IDENTITY"!!!!
I will do that myself.
A "community identity" is only valuable to a BUNCH OF SHEEP that need someone to tell them what their identity should be.
[YOU SAID]
The five racial groups you listed are extremely oversimplified. Where did you get this list? Where would Middle Easterners fit into that? What about the various ethnicities of India, who are certainly not all one race? North Africans versus sub-Saharan Africans?
Being SIMPLE is a GREAT thing brother!
Why... because no one is going to remember 1000s of ethnic descriptions.
If someone sees Soros. If you didn't know who he was. Most people would say he is a "White Man".
There is "RACE" and there is "ETHNICITY" inside that race.
Here is a good link from Harvard below.
It says "with their success is the tacit admission of our belief that our DNA can sort us into categories like the “five races:” African, European, Asian, Oceania, and Native American (Figure 1A)."

No one is going to break us up in 1000s of sub tribes. That over complication will not be useful in most applications of life.
Note I said "MOST" there. So there are some cases. But no one will have the need to relate to 1000s of racial groups.
