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

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.
