Funny you say that after my post...
I understand what you mean by social steriotyping, but it kind of defeats the purpose when our own government classifies us by race, and we classify ourselves by race.
You say blacks and whites are different, explain how this is true in an objective way without brining nationality into it.
That's why I say Race is an illusion... ask a Dark skined man in South America if he is black, and he will tell you no. Why? Because US's concept of "race" is screwed. I think the reason it may be used more here is because our country doesn't even have a name. Most other countries classify people more by where they are from instead of what the color of there skin is.
It's even got to the point where race is more defined by backround than the skin color. I mean, you are a wrestling fan, what "race" is The Rock? What is Hogan? Who has darker skin?
