I was a sprinter in my suburban high school, and one track meet pitted my
team against an inner city school with a larger black population. I
happened to lose one of my sprints, and a teammate attempted to console
me--in all sincerity--by saying "don't feel bad, *they* have that extra bone
in their legs."

I imagine you'd agree that "race" is still a meaningful term, but people
will at last be forced to recognize that it's a cultural rather than genetic
distinction. Of course, there will be many who simply deny the study's results.
