Funny, I'm still waiting for someone to give me the characteristics of each group of "races" that all of you seem to hold dearly.
OK, since blue and green exists you will of couurse be able to define them for me. As in white race, hispanic race, black race, asian race, etc race.
Irrelevant but for sake of argument, sub species of animals are more clearly defined through features. Humans, not so much. AGAIN, please share those "racial" characteristics for me since you seem to have an easy time differentiating/classifying the various "races".
Wow I'm just amazed at the selective reading here. I didn't say "race" does not exist. Otherwise this thread wouldn't exist. I said it is a made up social phenomenon and has no biological bearing.
Affirmative action is just a biproduct of the social misnomer that is "race" and is a failed policy in and of itself. Taking into account "racial" discrimination doesn't redress discrimination; it only perpetuates it.
The point, which has been proven by your responses, is that the institutional racism is so deeply ingrained; that you refuse to look at the very simple fact that so called "racial differences" are significantly minor compared to the many other differences amongst so called "races". Yet society places more importance on "race".
As I said, a classification system has to have distinct grouping characteristics. None of you are even able to give me a vague one.
"the fact of blue-green does not negate the existence of either blue or green."

Here's a good one: if "race does not exist", how do we get affirmative action?
