They could call it “Double-wide Times”?

ALL Arabs are Caucasion.

Seriesly, how many true “races are existent?

I’d say 3, maybe 4?
Caucasian
Negro
Inuit/Asian
?continental indigenous (amalgam)?

"[She will[ not [be] Caucasian," he stressed. "I'd be open to any ethnicity."

"Caucasian" is not an ethnicity. What he actually means, however, is that he's liberal minded enough to accept any ethnicity but not liberal enough to allow that to include a character whose race is white. The term for this is "bigotry".

Nor can a single character be described as "diverse". She is an individual, an instance of one, a unity. She may have diverse progenitors but she is what she is.

Was incest part of One Day at a Time?

Back when it was on, I only watched the intro to see Valerie Bertinelli’s smile.

The term “race” as applied to humans is a pretty elusive construct from a scientific viewpoint. What percent of DNA qualifies one as a member of a race? Or is it just based on physical appearance?

Compare how birds are classified by race within a species, where there is no real limit to the number of different races.

Seems to be more of a fake social sciences thing since the discovery of DNA.

It was called Veronica Mars.
