Word have meaning.
Anyone wanting or willing to change them should be treated with scorn and their word discarded.
This isn't a language game where some people want to change the meaning of words. It's about our understanding of biology. There is more genetic variance within so-call racial groups than there is between so-called racial groups. the boundaries between racial categories are arbitrary and vary depending on cultural and historical factors.
If the boundaries between racial categories are arbitrary, then they aren't useful because they are made up rather than established or determined.
The idea that so-called racial groups are actually different races from other groups of humans is largely rejected as a historical social construct, rather than an actual biological classification.
Someone didn't just decide that the way you define the word race should change, through biology and the scientific process we determined your definition is wrong.
