| FYI - 'race' is a social construct that humans use which basically boils down to skin colour - not much more. In reality 'African American' or 'Black' should not be though of as a 'race' - rather, as an 'ethnic group' - which is a collection of behaviours, ideals, attitudes etc.. Tell me, what 'race' is Barack Obama? What 'race' is someone from Sudan wherein people look a mix of 'Middle Eastern' and 'African/Black'? What 'race' are most Mexicans who have both Aboriginal and European backgrounds? Genetically, obviously there are some differences beyond skin colour, but it's pretty impossible to pin down 'race' when talking about genes. The dude doing your credit score is not going a gene test. He's looking at the colour of your skin. It's insane to think that has anything to do with anything. If anything 'ethnic group' would be a better correlation, but that's an impossible thing to determine in America. It's also racist, and I don't mean this in a 'PC' left-wing sense. I mean it in the most basic sense. Which is why it's illegal. |
Does the existence of gray disprove the notion that black and white are colors?
