The English race?? That's a first one
I have heard the definition of race, what you seem to be confusing it with is the defination of a culture or a country!
The English are not a race, the Germans are not a race!

With your defination, balck people could very well be a part of your Australian race as long as they have the same interests or habits

You should read that research I posted, it proves your first point worthless

The 15 percent is well below the threshold that is used to recognize race in other species," Templeton said. "In many other large mammalian species, we see rates of differentiation two or three times that of humans before the lineages are even recognized as races. Humans are one of the most genetically homogenous species we know of. There's lots of genetic variation in humanity, but it's basically at the individual level. The between-population variation is very, very minor
