"I want one race." "No, hang on, I want diversity." "No wait, I want one race." "I want ... umm ah..."

Yoohoo, Annie. Do you see what happens when people debate on instant emotional responses and don't think their position through?

Yes, Roger. Thanks for pointing that out.

You are joking. As i said several times before i think diversity is fine for the world (each country has its own culture) but not here in the form of segregation. We should have everyone together not segregated. 1 country. I expect those idiots to do this but not you. You have so far demonstrated understanding of concepts whether you agree with them or not.

SOB

Spot, I was being sarcastic and it was directed at Morning Mist, not you.

I understand what you're saying. I think Wesley and MM and Soren are assholes for trying to make you feel you don't have a valid point.

You are saying you dont want ethnically or culturally segregated enclaves located in certain locations? You are saying that cultures should be able to mix freely together while still celebrating and sharing the things that make them unique?

If you are, I agree. That's the way it should be. There are reasons it doesn't work, but that would be ideal.

They think they're smarter than you - they're not. They've just had more practice at this.

Heh okay mate. Sorry. It didnt seem right I should have known it was sarcasm.

Yeah thats basically what Im saying. I know it wont happen though.

BiDil Receives FDA Approval as First Racially Targeted Drug

Dr. Theodore Addai chief of cardiology at Nashville General Hospital and Meharry Medical College.

The Food and Drug Administration on June 23 approved BiDil, a drug treatment for cardiovascular disease that specifically targets blacks. In a statement, the FDA says the drug represents "a step toward the promise of personalized medicine."

I can't see any differences between these people. Can you Falah?

Differences between races are skin-deep. If scientists can use DNA to determine the "race" of a particular person, it's most likely associated with superficial features like skin or hair colour or the shape of limbs. Other than these aspects of humans, there doesn't seem to be anything else that distinguishes different races according to this article:

We are all just small variations of the same race that came out of Africa in the dim dark distant past so this carry on about different facial features, skin colours, cultures, religions etc is just another excuse to bury our fear of change.
This unreasonable fear is easily exploited by hard line ultra conservatives on their grab for power and control as history has proved time and time again.
