Race is not simply skin color, it's far more than that. Race, or rather genetics, is a significant factor on how people think. Different races have different preferences and standards
This is quite bizarre. Race does make differences, but if it affects preferences and standards, it does so indirectly. It certainly does not have a 'significant factor' in how people think.
The "racial equality" movement was always going to end like this. At best it's a racial ceasefire for a period of time.
And how then do you explain the times in history when race was not a factor?
This applies to the news as well, which is education for the adults.
It is mote than just IQ. Races have personality profiles, for example in relation to their in-group and out-group feelings, or in having low or high time preferences. Or in the incidence of Dunning.Kruger, which has a high incidence among negroes.
None of this is terribly surprising. I don't see how this shows that race 'determines' thinking.
It depends on what's meant by it. "How people think" is a weird phrase given the context, I'd go more with, "it defines who we are" in many ways.
That sounds more reasonable. I don't think it should though. I have far more in common with someone who shares my culture than someone who shares my race and does not share my culture.
Exceptions to the rule exist. It's kinda like someone saying "Psychopaths are bad for society," and you asking "How do you explain x or y psychopath."
Multiracial societies that are not stratified by ethnicity are new. So it should not surprise that it's the exception that there were times when it can be demonstrated that race was not a factor.
I don't think multiracial societies do work. But in theory, they could work. If there was something greater that was shared by all the members, say religion, which overshadowed race.
Preferences, standards, and emotions, are all inherently genetic. Of course experience is significant as well, but that comes after genetics. The brain is a biological organ and is not unique in how much genetics affects it.
Which "times in history" would you say that is. As far as I can see it has always been a significant factor. Through ancient history, to modern history. Of course there are always exceptions, but I'm talking about the scale of millions of people interacting with each other.

We are meat computers. Just because you can't see the changes in the wiring as easily as you can see a different color of PCB doesn't mean they aren't present.

The word 'education' has become laughable.
Race and IQ are virtually inseparable. If that doesn't make a difference in thinking then I don't know what does.

So what kind of deterministic effect do you think that IQ would have on 'thinking'? People of all IQs have the entire range of beliefs.
Low IQ make Trayquarius not think good, him go ooga booga some Nikes from Foot Locker.

Perhaps you mean the "anti-racism" in the soviet union.
Stalin was one of the few Bolsheviks who was a rabid anti-Semite, ironically.
What times? The Byzantine Empire, where Greek culture was the most important factor and not race.
