Put an end to popups!

I don't see American Indian or Native American on your list. Many of the people in the America's, Hispanic or Gringo, have Indian roots. Some estimate that 40% of Americans have Indian heritage. Does that make the average American white or Indian?

All I know is, when I went to Mexico City, the people there thought I was an aboriginal Mexican. Those people look more Asian than most of the Asians I know.

Can you guys explain to me exactly what you are accusing me of when you say I'm a "racist"? Due to overuse this word has lost it's meaning. For someone to be a "racist" do they have to hate those from racial groups other than their own? If so, then I am not a racist.

Please give me your full definition of "racist".

The only thing you seem to agree on is that "racist" is a handy, all-purpose insult. Pity it has no meaning.

I consider a racist a person who believes that ethnic groups have different average intellegence and diferent typical personalities, both of which are false.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

The 'races' ARE different and to acknowledge that doesn't make one 'racist' at least not in your definition. 60,000 years of evolution has made us different, different skin colour, eye colour, hair etc and thats just the differences we can see, let alone on a genetic level

EDIT: I posted this before I read Odins post, in a nutshell I believe races are different but not that one is inherently 'superior' than another

There are differences but only about 15% of the genes with multiple alleles are in isolated areas, the rest are spread fairly evenly through the population. The differences must be at least 30% for a species to be seperated into races, so "ethnic group" is a better term.
