I too must offer a belated apology. (Busy, school, finales, etc.) I tend to be
stubborn myself. I still am trying to figure out why people think I was trying
to deny the hardships of various 'racial' groups. That was definatly not my
intention. My original statements of: 'race' and 'ethnic' don't dictate skin
color, really wasn't meant to be taken as an attack on you or anyone else.
They were simply to be taken at face value. Then that whole mess of dog breeds
came into play. Well the best definition to your original question I can think
of ("What would you say then?") I suppose would be 'breed'. (We are all
going to the dogs anyways with this topic) That is not meant in a derogatory
manner in case someone would take it as such. Once again, sorry for the
shouting match.
