Right, because we can't perform cluster analysis on genomes yet. And the human genome clusters don't correspond to self-identified ethnicities at all.

Science does support the existence of genetic differences between races, both differences expressed in human peoples' phenotypes (it's possible to give an accurate phenotypic reconstruction of features we often label as racial markers from DNA samples, in addition to geographic ancestry) and in non-coded DNA e.g. significantly higher % of Neanderthal DNA in Europeans.
