@Eminor91 If you haven't noticed, I'm not the one who made up the caste system. The people before us did.They did the classifications. I'm only going according to what you've posted up about having all of those different nationalities in you. I'm well aware of there just being just the human race. Duh. But since you want to pull out all of these different nationalities and classifications, I only went according to how those people from those countries would truly be identified as (O & C)

@Eminor91 These countries are mixed with different people.Black= 1st race, the rest are results from climate because they (Blacks) wanted to adapt to the weather.They all originated from Africa and migrated.All of this other caca you've said is basically stuff that I know as far as there only being one real race.No shit. As far as why we're different in body types,skin,facial features, all has to climate during the times when people migrated to different parts of the world. No further comments.

@Eminor91 What about "Latinos"?The majority of them are part Native American Indian (Oriental), and Caucasian. Most people from Mexico have that mixture. I'm not saying they all do. But most of them do. Others could be Caucasian Only. Some could be just African or mixed with African, and white, or black white and asian(Asian doesn't mean Chinese,Japanese, ect) Asian as in (Native American). The nationalities that you just named are just what they are, Nationalities, they're not races.

@usmcpvtswat Please elaborate on what you mean.

@Eminor91 Same species, not race.

[Eminor91]

@LilBlkAznBeauty There is no such thing as a "pure" race. That is pretty ignorant to think that we are different races. Biology 101, there's only one, the human race. There are different "ethnic" groups, but not different racial groups. If we were truely different races, then we would not be able to mix.

@McMcMeaty That came from the white man mixing with the slaves.

I am multiracial: My skin is white but my crap is black... Must have been the oreos.

@MenkeriosAndemicael

mixed race folks will do nothing to bring people together... they are taught that race is inherently worthless by apologetic parents.
