@Pioneer1, simply put there is no genetic basic for race. This is a fundamental concept that is lost on you. Now if you, and probably the majority of Americans, want to continue to group people based upon the color of their skin, and then proceed to make broad generalization about the characteristics of these arbitrary buckets of people, knock yourself out. Just understand that there is not basis in science for doing that. Obviously, I know some white people feel that brown people are less intelligent. I also know that the most rabid of these racists will never have their opinions swayed by modern science. That in my opinion is a reflection of their stupidity. Any so called educated person, who is a racist is simply stupid in my book.

@Pioneer1, who are making this a circular argument. I'm saying I can't prove anything you've said is true or false because I again fall all I know you can be a white guy. That said I have anything against white guys participating here, but since you are anonymous I can only go by what you say, of course what you can can be a lie, but I have no way of knowing. Of course I take you at your word, but if I were in a court of law I could not testify to your race, because I simply do not know what it is -- I just know what you written. You would not be the first first who posted here and spoofed the gender, race, or even that of a celebrity. You are being a bit sensitive. I was gonna write "don't get you panties in a bunch," but decided to go with cliche I chose. I was just trying to express the idea that it is not all that serious. Of course K2's presence can be completely fictional as well. Even his is a photo of a person -- that does not mean it is him (or her). I, just searched, and found the photo here as well: https://urbanpatriotsite.wordpress.com/ but that does yield any additional proof, as it does not take very much effort to create a wordpress site under a bogus identity I did find a resume for K2, which gives enough information for me to vet his identity if I wanted to do so, but I don't have time for that. Besides, usually people misrepresenting themselves here eventually reveal themselves as trolls and I end up banning them. Finally there is a big difference between expressing a malformed or ignorant opinion and deliberating saying something known to be false to mislead someone. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to tell the difference.

@Pioneer1 K2's responses adequately answer your question to me about race. I use a website called ancestry.com. they don't mention the word race but what they do speak to is geographic origin. This is something K2 mentioned as well. Also the fact of the matter is people understand race so it is often easier just to speak in terms that people understand. But of course when you do this you run the risk of being less clear.
