I'm still trying to figure out what a "race" is? When I was growing up, there were 3 races (black, white, and yellow). Red and brown got added on. Now, we talk about the attitudes of Arabs and Jews toward each other as racism, even though they (at least the Mediterranean ones) are very difficult to tell apart and even have very similar languages ("salaam" = "shalom" and "ben" [as in David Ben Gurion] = "bin" [as in Osama Bin Laden]). So, are two otherwise ethnically similar groups regarded as different races merely because of religion?
