OK. Human. But, we do agree that humans are, in fact, animals, yes? We try
to separate ourselves from the animals, but we are. So, I offer this
comparison:
A German Shepard is a dog.
A Dalmatian is a dog.
A German Shepard is not a Dalmatian, nor is a Dalmatian a German Shepard. So,
is one the same as the other? So does it make sense to compare a person of
one color/creed/religion/gender/ect. to someone else not of the same
color/creed/religion/gender/etc? No. Yes, before you even say it, I know
that we're all human, but still there are differences among "groups" of
humans, just as there are differences among breeds of dogs. Enguard.
