How can races/ethnicities be pure when all genes are mixed and environments constantly change?

Amazing that a "PhD level molecular biologist" ((X) DOUBT) can write this sentence with a straight face

"Ultimately all "races" are minor adaptations to local environments and also the product of a genetic phenomenon called Founder Effect."

 

minor adaptations

Founder effect

Pick one.

Basic logic dictates that you're wrong.

No one is going to be as genetically identical to me as an exact clone would be. The next closest would be an identical twin, then a brother/sister, then your parents, cousins, etc., etc. As someone else pointed out you're making the continuum fallacy.

Sociologically, your fallacious reasoning would lead to believe that families don't exist just because they're made up of humans and therefore other humans would be just as interchangeable to any a parent-offspring pairing. This is obviously stupid and nonsensical.

Your argument basically boils down to the result of modern mass (relative to history) intercontinental transport and pointing out exceptions that you seem to be interpreting as rules.

This makes me think you're either a simpleton or disingenuous.
