In the context of the definition (the rest of which you snipped) there was an implicit distinction being made b/t people and animals...a distinction most people make as well (when folks think "animal kingdom", they don't expect to see a special on some people living in a Brooklyn apartment, they expect lions, tigers, etc...). Amazing how people will pretend to forget how language is conventionally used in the heat of an argument.
seeing as >youve hjust proved that race >implies the idea of subspecies >among animals your whole case >is blown.
Not at all. Good you think so. You fellows have the rather difficult course of convincing the majority of the 6 billion folks on earth that they shouldn't belong to a racial group. good luck.
