Reply #18: okay I can sorta see the joke

So on an adjacent topic - they ran a CBS news story yesterday talking about whether white peoples "should be allowed" to adopt black children.

I keep hearing people talk about race, when they mean skin color, and not culture of origin. And yet if you point out that culture is what is difficult to reproduce in a mixed culture-of-origin family, people look at you like you're daft.

I think it's long past time to stop referring to shades of skin color as "race". We're perpetuating racism by participating in its terms.

That's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. :P
