Americans Launch Attack

"In biology, a race is any inbreeding group, including taxonomic subgroups such as subspecies, taxonomically subordinate to a species and superordinate to a subrace and marked by a pre-determined profile of latent factors of hereditary traits.

Examples of race include:

* The key lime and the Mexican lime, both of species Citrus x aurantifolia. The Mexican lime has a thicker skin and darker green color.
* The wild cat (Felis silvestris silvestris), desert cat (Felis silvestris lybica) the domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus).
* The Western honey bee is divided into several honey bee races"


The Japanese people clearly have physical hereditary traits that separate them from other Asian peoples.

True, but those are just ethnocentric viewpoints that are confusing enthnicity for race by national bigotry. I understand where the posters are coming from. I also understand that most of us choose to change the meanings of things because it is easier to do that than learn their true meanings.

[Lumpy]

If that was true then the same argument can be used for all human races. I.e. that there are no races at all. I'm sorry but even if it is politically correct to say that there is only one human race in biological terms that is nonsense.

But we digress gentlemen. I suggest we stay on topic or start a new thread.

[Elfie]

The Japanese are a separate race in their own right. So are the Chinese, Koreans and Thais for that matter.

I would say this is wrong. I would say we are all Humans, one race.

Feel free to have the final say.

[Lumpy]

Thank you. What you say would be true if you replace the word "species" for "race". There are only one human species, but many different races of humans. Political correctness be damned.

Now for lumpy's next trick.


He'll explain to us how the SS were just misunderstood.

[Lumpy]

Stinky bait. Not biting.

Your right there is only one species of human being on this planet, but I have to disagree with your statement about many different races of humans.
The species of humans on this planet is called Homosapien, the race is called Human. Hence the term "human race" It doesn't take a college degree to understand that. One Race...............Human, with many different variations in that race due to tech region they evolved in.
