Note, country Identifications are NOT Racial.. there are only a few "Races" in the world. It is a very broad "class characteristic" IIRC Rather like "animal, vegetable, or mineral"
I suppose I shouldn't do this, but, I have lapses in judgement... There is only one race of humans. Homo sapiens. There is no biological basis for what we refer to as race. The tiny handful of genes that are responsible for ethnic characteristics are but a miniscule fraction of our genome and all the rest of the genome mixes and flows throughout humanity without respect to those genes that produce externally visible phenotypic differences. You want to know what racism is? It's the belief that there is such a thing as race. Randall Schulz
