When I was gone I see the chocolateman has been raging hard.
The term Race is a Germanic term started out as a term used in Western Europe for a language group, then it became ethnicity, and then later on it became the pseudo-science your referring to as "white/black/yellow" division. Its obvious I am using it as in ethnicity or nationality. I dont care about outdated terms from Germany and England... What you refer to as "Caucasoid race" is not real. There is no genetic or scientific of historical proof to show its existence. It is merely a creation that was invented by Western historiographers and biologists during a time when DNA testing didnt exist. So they used skull proportions and other stuff to try to categorize races, since they didnt have DNA testing. Now with DNA testing, this 18th century creation your talking about is as much as a pseudo-science as Phrenology. The only reason it is still used is because Britain, New Zealand, Australia, Hispanic countries and especially the US uses it, that is it. No other country outside of Hispanic countries, US/Canada or Australia/New Zealand and Britain use it in the world. Even your African countries dont use it, they use nationality not what your talking about. So since race started out to mean language and ethnicity, it can still be used as such, the word has multiple academic usages. Dont confuse American standard with global standard chocolateman, there is a difference. Just because America uses something, doesnt mean the whole world uses it. In fact that white/yellow/black distinction is losing its popularity in America and Britain, and I wouldnt be surprised if in near future it loses its popularity in Hispanic countries as well. As far as a natural selection, yes it still exists, but not in the same manner that is existed 200,000 years ago. Most people have shelters with heating or a/c, clothing for their bodies, and transportation, and modern transportation(cars, trains, airplanes) dont require ability to survive outside climates for long periods of time, so natural selection is still there, but most are not exposed to the same factors in the same amount now days that they were before. So in other words, someone with chocolate skin like you wouldnt die in Britain, because your not naked outside all day, your in a house, buildings, using a car or metro system, etc, your not going to die of vitamin D deficiency. With all this said, I think I know what is going on here, I have seen people that suffer from the syndrome that you are affected with. I am guessing your an Afro-mutt and therefore you dont have a nationality to identify with. "black" is probably the only identify you have, hence your obsession with the "black/white/yellow" classification. You probably dont have a choice, your stuck with this identify problem and hence know no other way. Dont worry though chocolateman, the East is open to racial and cultural diversity, I am sure in time you will be able to reunite with your Sub-Saharan kinsmen, intermarry with them and reestablish your identity some day. Dont allow your ex-masters to turn you into a robot with no idenity, look to the shining sun of the East, and see there is hope in a new sunrise!
