Race theory was always pseudoscience to imply the generalized differences between people who looked differently were genetic and thus inherent traits.

It's an extension of a much older, more insidious idea - blood purity. There are still people who would pretend to trace their own lineage back through every scholar, king, and prophet to Adam, while choosing to believe that everyone else is a mongrel line, inferior and subservient to them in some way.
