There is no such thing as "race".
Every person is genetically different to every other in some ways - even twins... certain culture's and characteristics may characterise ethnic groups, but the level of identification is hardly scientific. Muslims and Hindu's who have exactly the same shade of skin in India certainly consider themselves very different.
The idea that their are "races"... groups of people ULTIMATELY defined by ethnic characteristics is out-dated and absurd.
I hear people on the Rikki Lake using terms like "the Spanish race" when they talk about immigrants from Mexico or Cuba. Of course, we consider them to be ridicolous, but the whole concept of "race" is as foolish as they are in essence, so they do sum it up very well.
