If Erick Estrada can't do it, then it probably can't be done.

In all seriousness though, it is intellectually lazy and borderline wilfully ignorant to resign oneself to this sort of thinking. Too many races? Are you serious? Given the way in which _Q_ appears to be defining racial boundaries (not confined to national boundaries), there are maybe 30 or 40 geopolitically and culturally distinct people groups (i.e. Middle Eastern, South Asian, Eastern European, Nordic, sub-Saharan, etc...) on the planet. Anyone who can't be bothered to learn more generally the differences between them should be called out for it.
