I agree with you generally, and think that WERE any(yet unproven)genetic diferences to exist, they would remain trivial in the eyes of those truly seeking unity. Moreover, there are genetic differences btw men and women, yet they manage to come together in a relatively peaceful (if often inequitable)way.

My question is this: barring any genetic difference, citing culture as the only REAL MEANINGFUL difference, why would someone who lived, and was raised from birth in a culture, neighborhood -whatever- other than that of the individual's own "racial" background, still NEVER be considered to be of the culture of which they are a product? Sorry- I know that last thought was pretty messy. What do you all think????? I am curious.
