The genetic engineer in me is dying to get out so:

Not that I have any problem with the indication of "Race," (I don't) but I feel obliged to point out the scientific view point, which is, put simply, that there is no such thing. Genetically speaking, I (white as white can be) have more in common with a girl that is Black than I do with any white males. There is not enough genetic difference to determine any actual race. If there were, we would divide homo sapiens sapiens into sub species, like homo sapiens caucasia, etc. All humans are in fact 99.9995% exactly alike. It's that 0.0005% that determines any unique physical characteristics.

That concludes our science lesson for today. Carry on!
