Divergent evolution is the cause of racial diversity.
The racial interbreeding that is an unavoidable consequence of a multiracial society (without which the different races would have to be classified as different species) does add a new element to social racial diversity in the form of the racially-mixed or hybrid offspring of different parent racial stocks.

 Talk:Racial characteristics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Even if racial characteristics were (and I'm not saying they are) to be a completely discredited idea, that doesn't mean we couldn't write about it encylopedically.
Rather, after comparing the racial characteristics article to the article on race, I came to the conclusion that the latter was redundant, repetitive, and said what was said elsewhere, etc., etc., etc.
One way of accomplishing this is to create individual articles for the posited racial phenotoypes that are referenced in the race article, with each such article suitably NPOVed to eliminate any inadvertent endorsement of pseudoscientific racism.

Under the convention the states parties undertook, inter alia, to prohibit racial discrimination in all its forms, and to guarantee the rights of everyone 'without distinction as to race, colour, or national or ethnic origin' of equality before the law, notably in certain rights which were specified including education (art 5(e)(v)).
But the statutory definition of a racial group envisages that a group defined by reference to ethnic origin may be different from a group defined by reference to race, just as a group defined by reference to national origins may be different from a group defined by reference to nationality.

 The Concept of Racial Profiling
However, race, ethnicity, and gender are also characteristics that are merely descriptive in nature, and since police depend on descriptions to apprehend criminals or those planning crimes, the question arises whether and when race, ethnicity, or gender alone might be appropriate and justified characteristics on which police ought to act.
Hence, if an ethnic, racial, or gender description is sufficiently narrowing in a particular circumstance, it ought to be allowed as evidence for probable cause, or as justification, to initiate police activity in regard to a particular individual or group of individuals.
Clearly if racial profiling would be ineffective, there is no point in using it, but it is far from clear that it is any less effective in catching or deterring (potential) criminals than would be any non-racial, non-ethnic description, trait, or action which narrows the probability of detecting the actual perpetrator by the same degree.

 Title: Race and Home Ownership, 1900-1990
The decline in the racial gap in ownership is consistent with a variety of other economic and social indicators showing declining racial gaps, such as income, mortality, and schooling.
Although the raw racial gap in home ownership rose between 1940 and 1960, the regressions demonstrate that the racial gap was stable once we controlled for factors affecting the probability of home ownership.
Because racial differences in the incidence of female headship are both large and growing, including such households in the analysis may significantly affect both the level and trend in the racial gap in home ownership and housing values.

 Anti-Semitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Racial anti-Semitism replaced the belief that the religion of Judaism was to be hated with the idea that the Jews themselves were a racially distinct group, regardless of their religious practice, and that they were inferior or worthy of animosity.
In this view, Jews are not opposed on account of their religion, but on account of their supposed hereditary or genetic racial characteristics: greed, a special aptitude for money-making, aversion to hard work, clannishness and obtrusiveness, lack of social tact, low cunning, and especially lack of patriotism.
Racial anti-Semitism reached its most horrific manifestation in the Holocaust during World War II, in which about 6 million European Jews, 1.5 million of them children, were systematically murdered.
