Race2 is not a valid biological construct. Certain people by “race” mean that, and call race1 other words e.g. “ancestry”.

Sure, there also are people who say that race1 is not a valid biological construct. Bu then again, there also are people who say that Elvis is not dead.

Unfortunately, the former are more likely to get taken seriously than the latter.
