This has been refuted several times in several places. The
race assigned to a person depends on factors which render
the concept unusable by biologists. However, the concept
of the "gene" is not unusable by those who choose to assign
races to people.
As an analogy, the concept of "delicious food" is hardly
usable by chemists; however, chemistry can be used by
those who care about delicious food.
