what do you guys think of bi-racial people?

[Khristeeanos]

It's getting ridiculous because you're ignoring common sense mate. Blood and race are two totally different items. We all bleed red, but we aren't all the same colour. Again, common sense.

That is your definition of race?

We are all humans. Some are taller than others. Does that mean that they are different races as well?

What does heighth have to do with ethnictiy and colour?

The dictionary defines race as:

1 A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.

2 A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution

And yes, sometimes race will dictate how tall someone is or how short someone is...yet this is not always the rule.

My Webster's also has "a group of individuals within a biological species able to breed together".

I thought that was the def. that Kristeeanos was using.

I'd say you're both right.

Let me tell you a true story. (the listeners all yawn)

I have an acquaintance who is a Black female. We were discussing prejudice. Here's what she said, " When I was a little girl, my momma took out a box of crayons. She asked me, 'what color is Kathy(my Caucasian friend)'; I said, 'white'. My momma took out a white crayon, and asked, 'Is she this color?' I shook my head, pulled out a tan crayon and said, 'she's this color'.

Then my momma asked me,'What color are you?' ; I answered, 'Black'. She pulled out a black crayon and said, 'You this color?' 'No, I said, and I pulled out a brown crayon and said , 'This color'. My mom asked, 'So what you got there?'

I told her, 'A tan crayon and a brown crayon'............'Me and Kathy are just different shades of the same color!"

True story. I love that lady!

Peace,

Fiosh

Maybe I should be more specific when I say colour?

I agree that we are all created in the same image and are different shades....but again, and I can't stress this enough, we should acknowledge this beause it shows the creativity of God. It's like looking at a painting and saying, "Nope, I only see one colour and one shade." It destroys the creativity.

I see your point, ak; we shouldn't trivialize the nuances of God's creativity. The mountains of Arizona are magnificent in their display of color and testify to the awesomeness of their Creator.

We are all diverse in a variety of characteristics.........shade of color being one of them. And, yes, we are a testimony to God's creativity, not to mention His personal interest in each of us as individuals. So your point is well taken.

But, we are all various shades of tan.

Technically, according to Webster, we are both the same race and different races, depending upon your frame of reference.

Let's just shake on this one. eh?

PS. I notice you spell "color" with a "u"----colour-----are you from Europe?

[Gerioke]

PS. I notice you spell "color" with a "u"----colour-----are you from Europe?

That is the non American way of spelling it.

[apothanein kerdos]

PS. I notice you spell "color" with a "u"----colour-----are you from Europe?

Only in heart and mind.

I had an English english professor....thus, when he continued to mark through my spellings, I changed my habits. Didn't alter everything, just most of it.
