Re: Will these Nazis ever learn?

I am fairly sure that whilst people are being treated as second-class citizens and less than others because they are different, that they are not too fussed about the etymology involved.

Anyhoo, the Oxford English Dictionary definition of race is
Quote:
noun
1 each of the major divisions of humankind, having distinct physical characteristics.
2 racial origin or distinction: rights based on race.
3 a group of people sharing the same culture, language, etc.; an ethnic group.
4 a group of people or things with a common feature.
5 Biology a distinct population within a species; a subspecies
which seems to differ from your definition.

I think you will find that humans are a species (Homo Sapiens Sapiens), rather than a race......
