The problem with that, Diaze, is that it seperates Humans into "cliques" of sorts. When they ask you on standardized tests what race you are, it doesn't give the correct answer. Being an American myself, the answer is American. I'm tired of hearing about "Asian-American" or "African-American" or anything of the sort. We are all Americans in the country, why do we need to define ourselves by saying what our heritage is?

I wish jake and apollo didn't completely hijack this thread and take it way off topic. It was supposed to be about races. Not racism or homophobia. Quote: I also believe there is no place for this conversation in this community. Is discussing race in a non offensive way disallowed in this community?

I don't see what that has to do with race.

Is this thread locked? No. I do not believe it is.
However, I would like to hear any non-selfish benefit that this conversation could possibly result with. Therefore, I doubt any of your motivation is aligned with what is best for this community.

Therefore, I doubt any of your motivation is aligned with what is best for this community. Not all posts have to be made with the motivation to better the community. I post things because I want to post them. I like to learn things about people and I like to discuss things. That's why I'm here. I don't see what this has to do with the original question I asked though. This thread has been completely hijacked by other peoples fear of racism, it seems.

Yeah, I post things because I want to post them. And I want to say that this is a pointless topic, and I encourage people to simply refrain from posting here.

I would suggest staying out of this section. You will never sleep.

Can I start a new thread with the same original post, so my thread may have a chance of being participated in the way it was intended? This one has been derailed to the point of no return.
