Race is merely a social construct - something created by society to justify prejudices. Biologically, race does not exist. I guess you have to decide whether racism based on something society has created is very bright or not - because it sure isn't based on any scientific explanations.

Use the tried and true form of Classification for the rest of the Animal/Plant kingdom. Substitute "Race" for Genus or Species and it would be more correct. Wer'e all woodpeckers...but there is a difference between a Pileated and a Downey.

There is only one Race that is human. any thing else defines what breed you are as in cattle . such as Hereford .Jersey etc.
On all forms I always write in Human rather than color.I even had one government agency say I could not do that then I accused them of saying I was not a human and threatened a law suit for discrimination and a horrid insult to insinuate that I nor my family was human.

honestly i think even asking this question is paying way too much attention to race. in a perfect world there would not even be any anti racism events, as good as they may seem, because nobody would even notice race for it to be an issue.

I dont like it. Discrimination means "to see the difference between" so by even seeing any difference between races at all, I belive, is discriminating against them and being racist.

Well, my concept of race is: rednecks watching other rednecks turn left.

I'm not much into running. I do believe every one should be given an arena to showcase their talents and passions though.
