I have often wondered why we english speaking whites are refused the right to say or use "race" whereas spanish speaking hispanics are able to glory in and expound on "La Raza". When I got back from Vietnam in 1970, I was at Oaknoll Naval Hospital in the neuro-psychiatric ward (the result of a breakdown during my 3rd tour). I went to the dental clinic there for some work and had to fill out a form. I entered "human" in the box marked for race. The black WAVE who took my form looked up at me and said "Captain, they've got you in the wrong ward."

What was she implying with that comment? What ward did she think you belonged in. Sorry to be dense.

They say there is more genetic variation between two randomly chosen blacks from the same village in africa than there is in the entire white european population in the whole world.
In that sense, white people are inbred and can definitely be called a "race". The gene pool of white people is quite small. IN contrast, there really is no such thing as a black race.
