Which is why race is relative. We base it off skin tone, but it could be based off anything. At some point our brains say 'close enough'.
Yes: it is arbitrary where you draw the line, and the traits you use to make any delineation are also completely arbitrary. I agree completely.

That is why your "best definition of race" doesn't have much utilitarian value.
