[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really can't believe that this thread has this many posts.   Wow!   People just need to realize that "race" is simply a way to put people who look similar into a group.   So if you fit into the public's description of "white" you will be viewed as "white".  Simple as that.  What's funny is that wherever you go in the world, these definitions change.   Over here we may have groups such as "white", "black", "asian", "hispanic", etc... but go to different parts of the world and people may not just have an "Asian" category, but they will have a "Korean", "Chinese", "Vietnamese" category as well.  Go into another part of the world and you may have "Cuban", "Mexican", "Dominican", "Colombian" category.   Go somewhere else and it may be "Swedish", "German", "Norwegian".  Go somewhere else, and it may be "Ethiopian", "Kenyan", "Liberian".

My point is that race is simply a creation to group people into categories.  Please end this Thread!!![/quote]

No way, really?!?!   :roll:   Your point is news to precisely no one.  The people replying to this thread are talking about race in a specific context -- DC and DCPS -- not some other part of the world where those other categories are salient.  If you don't have anything to contribute -- which you obviously don't -- then go start a thread about gumdrops or lollipops or whatever it is that gets you going.[/quote]
