No it isn't, because most societies are explicitly not racially homogenous, nor do they even accept most western definitions of race. There is no 'collective soul' that responds to anything.
Humans are factional. Race is just one facet of factionalism. It can spawn from ideology, but racial and ethnic factionalism always bubbles up, because the lines are so clearly drawn. Are you familiar with Politics?
Race happens to be a very specific progressive abstraction created for balkanization, at least in any modern understanding of the word.
Ethnic factionalism sometimes bubbles up, but it is never permanent, consistent, or even guaranteed. Ethnicities change with their people and their cultures. They may repeatedly merge and separate over time. That is also a part of factionalism.
Nah, it's shorthand for rough haplogroup. Similar halpogroups can, but not always, merge. Too divergent haplogroups conflict invariably. Arabs genocide Armenians. English fuck French.
No, it isn't. That's part of the point, they didn't know anything about haplogroups when they came up with the idea and it still doesn't match anything.
This is the point, it's still mostly cultural more than anything else because no one is dividing society by haplogroup.
