You're confusing race with culture here. Of course, I will continue to maintain that there is only one "race" and that's the human race.
I'm trying to say that race, or at least one form of race, is culture. Just because they are two different words doesn't mean they are different. Yeah, in a sense the human race exists as one because of our connection as a species with similar methods of sense perception, etc. that allow us to exist in a species-related intersubjective frame of reference. But still, most of us naturally see differences among ourselves and only feel comfortable with our own culture/race.


But what's to stop the manic tide,
The suicide of our own pride?
