Public Research: Race

[HerenIstarion]

This is also part of Public Research Project, and deals with the race you belong to.

Race as employed here means:

Lineage, Templeton (1998)

A subspecies (race) is a distinct evolutionary lineage within a species. This definition requires that a subspecies be genetically differentiated due to barriers to genetic exchange that have persisted for long periods of time; that is, the subspecies must have historical continuity in addition to current genetic differentiation

The research is based on self-identification, so in this poll you are allowed to pick more than one category (of course, as in the case of most other polls of the project but relatively 'hramless', this one is also anonymous) As majority of our members are from U.S., the categories themselves are based on 2000 U.S. Census, with the one difference - Hispanic is added to stand as a race (though it generally be considered ethnicity rather than race), but I've decided to follow suit as set in Civilizations (where Latin American was set apart)

You are free to abstain from posting, yet are welcome to post in the thread if you feel inclined to. Of course, as in all threads of the project, comparative discussion of races is strictly prohibited. Any post hinting at something with a slightest tint of 'superiority/inferiority' in it will be personally negatively rated by me. I will also apply to authorities to have the author temporarily (the spell depends on weight of offence) banned from the forum.

Being properly warned, I invite you to fire out.
