Well a scientist does not have to be take the scientific definition of race. When you ask a question like the one you did, people (scientist or not) will answer with the definition they have, not necessary with the definition given by the statistical analysis of nucleotid differences.
Then prior to talk of something people shall make sure they are talking of the same thing.
Of course scientist are biased but not statistical results...
And yes I said race has a scientific definition, cause it is true, but I never said it was the only one (which makes a huge difference to me).
Concerning what you read in wikipedia let me tell you that wikipedia is a kind of dictionnary not a scientific revue. then it just rewrites what is written elswhere and usually do not publish experiments results but just comment them (which introduce the point of view of the writer). Then it seems they analysed the genome which is a lot different from the whole nucleotid run.
