    It has nothing to do with blurred racial characteristics because of interrcial marriage. It has to do with the fact that nobody has been able to come up with a valid set of indicators or standards that define race. What defines a Caucasian as a Caucasion?

    Conversely, holds true for for blacks who come in contact with non blacks. Such is a world filled with racial stereotypes and prejudices. "You are one of them until you prove yourself otherwise".
    Indeed.
    Interestingly enough, the greater percentage of such negative traits are learned or created ones.

    Praise children for their innocence and instinctively accepting manner.
    One could gather 30 youngsters from every cross-section of ethnicities, throw them all in the same room, more than likely would get along - without the preconceived notions of difference.

    They would soon learn the differences. Nice idea anyway.

    Indeed.

    "12 Year Old Girl Banned From School Football Team For Inciting Lust"

    Another questionable WaPo headline. Why is "inciting lust" in quotes? First, we get something the mother of girl said:
    "In the meeting with the CEO of the school, I was told that the reasons behind it were... that the boys were going to start lusting after her, and have impure thoughts about her," [Paige’s mother, Cassy Blythe] said. "And that locker room talk was not appropriate for a female to hear, even though she had a separate locker room from the boys."

    Then, the WaPo "social reader" writer Dan Carson opines:
    I’m no philosopher, but when you ban preteen girls from being around boys while wearing shoulder pads, “inciting lust” sounds like a flimsy reason. After all, the rest of the girls on school grounds are wearing skirts and polos and aren’t covered in reeking hand-me-down padding."

    Althouse

    Well, banning the kids game of "Tag" all started with T-Ball IMO. Slippery slope indeed.

    Fair skin. Blue, gray or green eyes. Blond. Tall and handsome. A brain that reflects reality. Grown up in a civilized society, able to grasp and embrace advanced ideas such as atheism and socialism. I'm aware that people of other races can have one or two of these features, in a few cases several, never all of them combined.

    Maybe you mean Aryan.

    I Thought Caucasians heralded from the Caucasus region


    Caucasus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    and would generaly have had dark features.
    But it appears I may have been wrong.


    Meyers Blitz-Lexikon (Leipzig, 1932) divides Caucasian or
    "Caucasoid" types into: the Nordic, Dinaric, Mediterranean,
    Alpine, East Baltic, Turanid, Arabid, and Irano-Afghan.

    It just wouldn’t be cutting edge & trendy...
