Sorry folks, but I didn't start this thread to talk about Obama or to deny that there is diversity among humans. It's simply about the proposition that using the word 'race' to describe our differences is technically inaccurate and further, that it divides us in a way that I think is unhelpful and dangerous. If you see someone as a different 'race' from you, you are labelling them as less human than you, not merely different. We are all one race. Our differences are many and varied - biological, social, cultural - but they are not to do with 'race'.
