First I assume you are denying the existence of race, subspecies?

Huh? My question acknowledges the existence of subspecies, and doesn't comment on 'race', aside from asking you how you're defining it.


Good god man I’m speaking of basic scientific and accepted common knowledge that has been recognized for thousands of years.

Common knowledge? How many people do you know who think "African-American" is a race? Most of them, likely?

How many people do you think could name your four races, much less one of them? Or if we even include the 'maybe' ones you left off your list, like Australoid, Esquimaux, Capoid, Polynesians, or any of the other more minor groups? (I assume your 'Aboriginal' is referring to Tribal Americans?) And yes, there is no scientific consensus on this, different people identify 3,4,5,7, or more human races, though yes, most split them into three. (Tribal Americans are usually lumped under Mongoloid.)

And Hispanic is certainly not a race, it simply refers to people from areas, or descendants of, Spain and it's colonies. Does a Brasilian count as Hispanic? An American with Spanish ancestry? A full-American whose anscestors lived in Spanish Florida?

Well of course there is going to be a graduation scale between races, for example in Central Asia the people are more of a blend between Caucasoid and Mongolid.

No I meant Australian Aboriginals.

I don’t personally feel Hispanics are a separate group, rather mostly an offshoot of Caucasian. However I’ve read some in the “La Raza” movement are making that argument.
