[To summarize: there are no contemporary parties in the race/genetics who are actually making contradictory statements. Mostly, they are just using definitions of the terms in order to emphasize different aspects of reality. Unforuntely, they're taking their time about actually listening to what each other is saying as to arrive at a consensus. Bamshad's essay in the latest issue of JAMA comes the closest I've ever seen to briding the terminological divide that is causing the appearance of dispute.]
