Everyone - at least I thought this was the case - knows that we (Homo Sapiens) are a species. The term "race" is defined by the Merriam Webster online dictionary as "a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock", "breed", "within a species." Scientific textbooks refer to humanity as a species, and there is no "species-ist" behavior or "specie-al" profiling. Can't they just admit that the title "human race" is a deliberate lie based on the emotional and cliche slogan of "there's only one race..." ?

I wonder how many people realize how boring it would be if we were really all just one human race. And these are diversity advocates claiming this. Sheesh.
I'm sorry - but I personally want to be allowed to keep my own identity separate from people whose culture I cannot understand.
