Re: RE: What is racism?

You can't categorize by race. DasFx, in what category will your kids fit into. Some like me, with multi *ethenic background* (Asian,European,Hispanic, Native Canadian and Slavic*), have trouble choosing just one ? :roll:
On a questionare I usually check other, or just write in human.

My kids will be hydbrid or biracial. *By the way Hispanic aren't a race. They are decendent of europeans but with a touch of native. I can't wait to see how you respond to that*.

:scratch:
did you read my post? .......
***ethnic background ***, not race.
There is only one race......
:salute:

No worries Summer, I'm a hard headed woman, and am pretty much done with this.

Here's an interesting take on why there are "white people". I remeber a short story by Arthur C. Clarke that had aliens (advanced humans) coming back and offering to cure any whites of their disease. Seems he wasn't too far off the mark.

Scientists said yesterday that they have discovered a tiny genetic mutation that largely explains the first appearance of white skin in humans tens of thousands of years ago, a finding that helps solve one of biology's most enduring mysteries and illuminates one of humanity's greatest sources of strife.
The work suggests that the skin-whitening mutation occurred by chance in a single individual after the first human exodus from Africa, when all people were brown-skinned. That person's offspring apparently thrived as humans moved northward into what is now Europe, helping to give rise to the lightest of the world's races.

Maybe it's that instinctive knowledge that has lead to the creation of tanning booths. Or maybe it's just that the skin thing is linked to a gene for silliness.

Somewhere around 500 ancestors or so back we were all black.

Looks like the start of new Rap Tune.
