I agree wholeheartedly. Instead of classification based upon ones features, what is your stance upon social classification?
There is no valid basis for it.
Quote:
Do you recognize a difference between the two, and if so, why do you?
I don't accept the notion of a difference between ethnic classifications and social classifications beyond distinguishing between people of one's own nation (a geopolitical entity) and other nations.
Quote:
How do you propose we eliminate the usage of said titles?
One might not ever be able to eliminate the use of titles but one can certainly stop trying to promote differences.

I also mean to clarify a point that I made earlier. I do not see a need for labels, it is just that we, as human beings, do label things in order to further organize our environments in a self-assuming logical manner.
More efficient use of language is probably the only real value of labels.
Quote:
Also, what are these few real differences that you speak of?
I was simply saying that there are fewer real differences among humans than the promoters of diversity would like us to believe.
