As raghu, Charles, and others point out, the concept of human races is bogus. That is, in statistical studies, for most if not almost all measures besides skin color, there is more statistical variation _within_ races than _between_ races. (it's called heritability, BTW.) Maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought of you (David) as being some sort of libertarian. And I thought that libertarians were in favor of treating each person as an individual rather than as merely some member of a larger "race." -- Jim Devine / "The trick for radicals has been and will be to make of earth a heaven, but without blind faith." -- Mike Yates.
