I'm trying to counter the claim that race doesn't predict anything. More than nothing is something. How much? I haven't quantified it but neither has the OP.

It's not bad at predicting what race people will think someone is. Outside of that, it's of marginal utility at best. At worst, it's used for systematic oppression on a global scale.

If the goal is to counter that oppression, how can it help to dispute or ignore the categories?
