Is 'categorized' the same as 'race'? I mean, if you're going to be a racist at least you should know the meaning of the word 'race'. There is no 'middle eastern' race, no 'Latino' race, and no 'African descent' race (or would you say Egyptians belong to the same race as pygmies, or hutus?). A Galician is an inhabitant of the North West of Spain, you'd probably call him Latin, the funny thing is Galicians, like Irish, are of Celtic origin. Not to mention Basques. So, would the racists in the list (which abound, it seems) clarify what does 'race' mean to them? _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
