Please name the common characteristics all “white” people have
John, first let me apologize for being a bit rough on you. I didn’t realize that a fellow freeper (one of my tribe) wrote the piece.
But in answer to your question I would ask you the following - do you have trouble identifying if a person is white, black or asian?
I understand that the boundaries can be a bit blurred, but those are the exception not the rule.
I don’t know what you look like, I imagine you’re white. If so, do you think the people that run all the affirmative action programs would confuse you for a black and give you preferential treatment?
Additionally, DNA analysis can tell if you’re Caucasian, negroid or mongoloid.
But all those things aside, the key to my point is that groups are just as real as individuals and they are very important in our daily interactions. And people group themselves not just in racial terms, but in many different ways - Politics, profession, interests, nationality, gender, etc, etc.
If I need a doctor I don’t go looking under plumbers.
One has to deal with the reality of those groupings. Pretending they don’t exist will only lead to misery.
In fact the primary reason why we have so much racial strife to the point of utter insanity is because of one false assumption - that all groups are the same.
I can explain further if you’re interested.
