What We Call "races", Such As Black, White, And Asian, Are More Like Different "breeds". We Are Still All Human.
The fact that all the so-called races can mate and reproduce tells me we are more like different breeds of the same animal. The term "race" seems to classify the groups so distantly, they would be more like different species, and that cannot be because we can mate with each other and reproduce..

True that! But race can define religious placement and ideology such as Hindu or "Aryan". Skin types themselves are like breeds though.

 As this relates to the topic and explanation interbreeding erodes culture. Culture is more than religion, isn't it. There are different cultures within a race. A half breed would almost certainly have some from each culture or maybe an entirely different one.

We are all Human, colour or culture might make us slightly different, but a bad attitude and or lack of respect, is a far greater barrier.

 A Humble statement. Culture is a lifestyle. How do you bridge respect between different lifestyles? (granted right and wrong is different from culture to culture).

I agree with the sentiment as well as the logic that we can all interbreed. I'm still a little uncomfortable calling different "races" "breeds" instead because I think that carries its own baggage. For example there are dog breeds known for loyalty, or aggression, or being difficult, etc, and I wouldn't want the human "breeds" argument used to feed similar stereotypes. But otherwise, yes, there is only one "race" and that's the "human race" and frankly it's better to call it the human "species".

 I wouldn't hit breed up and put the baggage to the term. Even if label sociology is minor offensive. I happen to think the term is so accurate there is no other way around it. Race carries more stereotyping than breed can. Because race can completely exclude another race. Breed implies we are similar with minor differences.

There are no "races"; humans are a species. And the day that someone is "different" from me is the day that one group of people is separate from others when two cannot reproduce for reasons other than sterility or disease.

Only those who are mentally and educationally deficient see people with other skin as "different races".

Dogs are different "breeds" and when two different breeds mate they create a different type of animal. Do you see humans as different types of animals.

 When two different breeds of dogs mate they don't create a different type of animal they create a cross breed.;-)
