I would add to this that America's long infatuation with race purity did give "race" a superficial scientific veneer.
As laws against miscegenation fell by the way side, the lines of race blurred. We are certainly moving in a direction where "race" falls away and is replaced by more specific ethnicities. Both are social constructs, but one ultimately is more definable.
