I beleive that discarding the concept of race will cause some to want to discard the concept that racism exists for their own agenda. We all know that biases according to physical appearances are still alive and well, albeit less common than they were in previous years. The generalized physical differences defined by the concept of race help define instances of discrimination. Protective laws have been built on this concept. To remove the concept may remove the protections from a legal standpoint. To add complexity to the existing structure may be the best answer. Just realize that greater complexity will give people more points to argue about whether or not their discriminating behavior is actually racism or not, according to the word of the law. This will, in effect, lessen the effectiveness of protective laws. The system in place for defining race and racism is far from perfect, but it does help.
