@JamalDOA I think, that is a good point. I think however, that the ratial discourse is also a particularly weak one, by analizing certain "very mixed" societies, and its social cohesion. Some of this examples can be found in Latinamerica. I think, this racial discourse is at the same time very american.

It's be interesting to determine if the more equal societies are more racially homogenous and if the unequal socieites are conversely more racially disparate.
