Dear Martin,
you have a practical point of view.
Yes, it is right, that for most people this debate woul dbe too specific.
But it is not for an article in the National Enquirer or a breaking news of Fox TV, but we are here a theosophical group, studying together - more or less - technical theosophy.
Technical Theosophy gives Blavatsky students many insights.
Also discussions on karma, manvantaras etc. may be of less importance for the masses as they need short-cut explanations.
Note, that the doctrine of the races is said by Master K.H. as a question of most importance, it is the cardinal dogma of the esoteric doctrine of Trans-Himalaya.
"En Passant, to show to you that not only were not the "races" invented by us, but that they are a cardinal dogma with the Lama Buddhists and with all who study our esoteric doctrine..."
http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/mahatma/ml-23b.htm
This is the more important as the still strong Marxist movement over their Frankfurt school denies that races exist. Marxism says that all men all equal and race and gender are but social behaviours, which must be overlooked and fightened.
Here you can find the rationale why HPB was so furious, when speaking about Marxism.

Don't see why it is so important to discuss racial issiues, when the majority of humanity doesn't even know what a human is, since they merely act like animals...please drop this bull and start teaching people they are human instead. Who gives a flying duck but the creators themselves about what race or subrace we are all from. What a waste of possibilities just to tell everyone we are human, period.

Yes.
And I understand that KH is not against Humes view?
But, can we have the fascimile version, which are showing the flyleaves mentioned by KH?
"Please examine carefully the few additional things I give you on the fly-leaves. Damodar has received orders to send you No. 3 of Terry's letters -- a good material for pamphlet No. 3 of Fragments of Occult Truth.
This figure roughly represents the development of humanity on a planet -- say our earth. Man evolves in seven major or root-races; 49 minor races; and the subordinate races or offshoots, the branchlet races coming from the latter are not shown.
The arrow indicates the direction taken by the evolutionary impulse.
a.. I, II, III, IV, etc., are the seven major or root-races.
b.. 1, 2, 3, etc., are the minor races.
c.. a, a, a, are the subordinate or offshoot races.
d.. N, the initial and terminal point of evolution on the planet.
e.. S, the axial point where the development equilibrates or adjusts itself in each race evolution.
f.. E, the equatorial points where in the descending arc intellect overcomes spirituality and in the ascending arc spirituality outstrips intellect.
(N.B. -- The above in D.K.'s hand -- the rest in K.H.'s. -- A.P.S.)
P.S. -- In his hurry D.J.K. has made his figure incline somewhat out of the perpendicular but it will serve as a rough memorandum. He drew it to represent development on a single planet; but I have added a word or two to make it apply as well (which it does) to a whole manwantaric chain of worlds.
K.H. "

Dear Morton,
I'm sorry to point out that the first quote you gave was O.A. Hume's
uncorrected understanding of the issue, not K.H. explanation to Sinnett.
It's from ML: 14, being "Letter from K.H. Answering Queries. Received
by A.O.H., July 9th, 1882."
The second quote is from the same letter and is by K.H., but does not
clarify the issue.

The dumb races will acquire our human speech, on our globe, on which
from the 4th race language is perfected and knowledge in physical
things increases. At this half-way point of the fourth round, Humanity
passes the axial point of the minor manwantaric circle. (Moreover, at
the middle point of every major or root race evolution of each round,
man passes the equator of his course on that planet, the same rule
applying to the whole evolution or the seven rounds of the minor
Manwantara -- 7 rounds divided by 2 = 3 1/2 rounds). At this point
then the world teems with the results of intellectual activity and
spiritual decrease. In the first half of the fourth race, sciences,
arts, literature and philosophy were born, eclipsed in one nation,
reborn in another. Civilization and intellectual development whirling
in septenary cycles as the rest; while it is but in the latter half
that the spiritual Ego will begin its real struggle with body and mind
to manifest its transcendental powers. Who will help in the
forthcoming gigantic struggle? Who? Happy the man who helps a helping
hand.
