Koreans and Japanese are so genetically similar that they're difficult to differentiate from DNA. People who identify as Hispanic or Latino have a mixture of indigenous, European, and African blood.
Race is mostly a social construct. We're the same species. We don't even have sub-species. The boundaries are complete fuzz. They don't even collect data about race and ethnicity in most of the world outside the United States. I hope we get over it within my lifetime.

similar? yes.
same? no.
Might as well be comparing different breeds of dogs. Some breeds are just naturally smarter than other breeds.
