Philips,

Baby bliss Philips the nasty person. Why you are so very nasty to people? When somebody returns your words, you cry like a little baby. You haven't a real friend in the world do you. You are so lonely that's why it is you insult people with cruel words, it's something to do with your complete lack of manhood. When challenged physically your would cry, saying you never mean to use your nasty tongue. You lack being a real man,so you have a gender confusing, thats what your problem is.
I never ever insult you being an Aussie but you insult me? When you sleep tonight think very hard about how brave you are to insult my country where I was born and how cowardly your are for doing so Philips.

Haha!

Love ya work, mate.

Thank you for your reply.
I always enjoy your reasoned, intelligent posts.

It is obvious that you think things through and give
an honest reply even at times when you may differ in opinion

Fool on the hill
You say that ,What we people don't understand, is that there is no such thing as race.

I suggest you buy some new glasses. You'll see people of obvious different races
everywhere.

You are no doubt referring to the attempt at promoting globalisation ideology.
by the academics. The percentage of matching DNA that all humans have in common.
Chimpanzees have most of their DNA in common with humans too. Which indicates
that, that small percentage of difference is capable of Creating profound dis-similarities
also.
Lions are genetically, percentage wise close in DNA. Doesn't stop them from reacting
With hostility and threat when another lion comes onto their territory.
You might call it racism, but it is actually territorial, tribal(bloodline) hostility.
I think it is you and your fellow academics who fail to understand the biology of the human being.

Hi Cherful,

Thanks for your kind words. But ....

We shouldn't confuse phenotype with genotype, what we look like implying some underlying 'racial' characteristic. Of course, people look different, there are seven or eight billion of us. Of course, we can loosely lump people into 'groups', in any number that we like, five 'races' or fifteen or five hundred if we get picky. But those 'groups' merge into each other: individuals assumed to 'be' in one group turn out not to be so. I remember a friend who I thought was Samoan who, as I found out fairly quickly, was Tanzanian. Maybe that's what makes some Anglo-Australians a bit uneasy: they can't categorise people as easily as they thought.

I got to know a bloke at the Sunday markets who I thought, for some reason, was Pakistani. No, he was Nicaraguan. I thought that another woman was Indonesian and I used to try to chat her up in Bahasa, but she turned out to be Hazara from central Afghanistan. Beautiful woman.

Maybe it pays to wait until we know someone better before we jump to conclusions about where they may be from, i.e. if we make judgements from their phenotype, what we think they look like, to genotype, the rather useless characterisation about what 'group' or 'race' they may belong to. 'Groups' blur into each other. Cambodians may look like Filipinos. Greeks may look like Spaniards or northern Indians or Finns. A Welshman may look Arab, as I found a couple of months ago on a bus, when a yob started insulting another bloke, a big bloke who could have taken him apart; and turned out to be Welsh, a NZ citizen, just visiting Adelaide.

Frankly, 'race' is a useless concept, and a hopeless means of differentiating the world of people around us. Where it gets dangerous is when we make illusory judgements from appearance to some supposed underlying characteristics to character etc. If there ARE 'races', there are seven billion of them.

Cheers,

Joe
