debaser, I'm curious as to your defintion of 'genocide.' My peers have always used it as an act of ethnic or racial killing. That is, genocide, as I understand it, is the act of killing a particular group of people based on racist beliefs.

Whatever else sixate might be, we ought to conclude that he is not Caucasion, despite the avatar, based on his statement that ctembreull's assumption that he was "100% caucasion" was "100% wrong."

edit: I'm would also like to point out that your categorization of Middle Easterners as Caucasions doesn't hold traction in either academia (where we argue that race is socially constructed and has no biological foundation) or our culture (where we just recently argued over the merits of 'racial' profiling in regards to paying particular attention to Arabs boarding planes and such--the nation wasn't in a debate ove whether Whites should be scrutinized more closely). The bottom line is that, while you might argue and believe that there are three main 'races' in society, and you might even produce a book or two to support such an assertion, that doesn't change the social reality that our citizens do not believe or conceive of themselves as the same 'race' as Arab peoples.

I didn't want to take this thread this far of course but we could discuss racial categories in philosophy, I suppose. We might wonder what prompted you to include sixate (even assuming his avatar is representative of his skin color) in the same racial category as a person of Arabian descent.
