In what context? Race could be more important depending on the situation.
What if it was said there are three sub races, all of which are of the prime human race. Would you deny any of the three their rightful place as prime?

The left is wanting division, I think. I can't stand racism! I never could. When I was in elementary school, I didn't understand why pupils of other colors were segregated. In my sophomore year of high school, I walked into a class and saw a person of color sitting there. I immediately walked over and sat next to her. That was exciting!

We've had black neighbors and a black pastor. People are people. Skin color doesn't matter!

Character is more important, but does that make race or ethnicity meaningless?
No culture and race is not meaningless but you cannot hold it as an idol. Humanity and character is the key. Are you going to step outside of what you know or not?

He hath made of one blood all nations of men

We are not to know any man after the flesh, as man typically looks on the outward appearance but God upon the heart.

Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

Skin pigmentation says way too little about a person

The character of the human race (which is diverse in skin colors) is very important, but the diverse colors of our epidermis will always be the same mortal coil we will all throw off at the end of our lives (regardless of its shade).

I don't know. Not enough information. What makes a race prime?

Race is a social construct, racism is a system borne out of white supremacy in the United States. Who is considered white and black is based on a racist foundation and it was how the country operated since its inception. Much of that structure was dismantled in the 20th century, but there are still vestiges that need ro be excised. Dismantle white supremacy and its tentacles that remain in our society, then we can reach that goal of character mattering most.

Why take the human race and constantly tell people they are lesser than the whole. For what purpose do people want to divide? I remember when there was complaints when some were not treated equally. They then were considered human. Now the trend is to convince everyone they are separate again. Right back to the original evil. Only the Adversary and it's kind benefits.
