Human race. Is there any other race on this planet who posts on forums? IMO, "race" is not the correct term, as implied above. Use "skin color", or "complexion" even...

But we know what is meant by race in our society today.... or at least I thought most of us knew until I saw the answers in here We all supposedly fit into one of either white/caucasian, black/negro, asian, or hispanic. Your nationality is not synonymous with your race. Oh... I am black.

Albino Mexican, my dad's family is really light and my mom is pretty much american. I'm the whitest Beaner you'll see man
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">In other words... you are black.</div> LMMFAO, I was thinkin the same exact thing......I know this is a little off topic, but I've always noticed that some black folks try to find ways to hide their blackness.......It's funny when I see some black folks saying "hey I'm Creol".......there isn't some kind of deep history of the "Creol" race.....Creol = black.........I think some people just get a neg. image of what black is, so they try to deny it, and look down on it (I'm not trying to KL32 is like that, but there are certain people that it does apply to)......I have a Grandfather who is from the Carribean, but I know a lot of people from the Carribean are black......anyways I'll stop ranting.
