modification. The modification would be that any
specific individual of any race could have any of the
guna characteristics delineated by Bob. I've met some
very sattvic Black people and some very tamasic White
people. So perhaps as a group measure what Bob says is
true, but you will find that the within group
differences are greater than the between group
differences. So this classification can facilitate
nothing other than racism because it has no practical
application, does it? Since there is no such thing as
a "group" as a coherent interactive entity, it simply
reifies an abstract category.
