I have become very confused as to this whole "race" issue.

When I grew up, race was skin color (we were white, they were black or yellow or brown or red). Now, I hear people saying that the Jews are "racist" toward Arabs. But they are pretty much the same color, and genetically (ethnologists tell us), there's hardly a dime's worth of difference between the two groups (considering the Middle Eastern Jew, as opposed to the European Jew who has intermarried with Europeans). They are separated more by geography, custom (including religion), and language than anything else.

Geneticists tell us that there is really more divergence WITHIN so-called racial groups (e.g., "white" vs "black") than there is between the average person representing each group. (So, for those of you with dirty minds, this means that there is more of a difference between the longest and shortest dicks among black men than between the average white dick vs. the average black dick.)

When it comes to intelligence, all that matters is how much YOU got, but I will say that, looking around, as a group it would seem that Asians come out on top, not white people. BTW, I'm a white guy.

Pesonally, I don't think about race much unless someone else brings it up, which you did, so those are my thoughts.
