In other ways, probably yes.
What's your point?

The point is that you are measuring something worthless, and you know it.

Sure.  Blonds and redheads, not a huge difference. Brunettes, maybe a larger difference.  But not super meaningful.
Now, just speaking of biology, skin color isn't any more "diverse" than hair color or eye color.  
But we are more than biology.  We are products of history and society.  And there the skin color thing was huge.  We can work towards it being smaller, but it's not going to go away in our lifetimes.  We have to measure it.  I don't think that's debatable.  We should know the racial breakdown of certain things and places.  The part that's debatable, that I'm really not sure how to answer, is what do we do with that information once we have it.  Certainly Democrats want to do too much.  And for sure, saying "someone should do something" doesn't mean the government should be the ones doing it.
