It's not neccessarily any one characteristic, but rather some sort of archetype and fitting someone into that archetype. But yes, if both of my parents were black and I still looked like me, everyone would still consider me white.

Seriously, if it's all based on something as flimsy and unreliable as physical appearance then why even bother?

I don't know why we bother exactly, but race is defined by physical characteristics. Like there are white people from Puerto Rico, and they're still Puerto Rican, but racially they're white. Race isn't about ancestry or nationality. We like to think that it is, but it's not. It's just physical appearence. If I looked like Don Cheadle I'd be black no matter what my parents looked like.

I look black but I'm from the Dominican Republic and I'm still hispanic...:wtf:

Frog, I love you dude, but that's bullshit. If you look white (like my hella white sister) but are born in Puerto Rico/a Puerto Rican family, you're Puerto Rican. Race has everything to do with geographic location of your immediate family or your family's ancestry.

The targets of Kramer's outburst speak out!

... I lol'd at the stupid bitch at the end talking about getting them compensation for being called names at a comedy club...

Oh snap, I was totally going to predict the calls for monetary compensation earlier in the thread, and then forgot. So predictable. I really hope Kramer tells them to fuck off.

That's because you're assuming white and puerto rican are somehow exclusive. They aren't you can be both.

...i still dont get it...

He's talking skin tone. Puerto Rican is Puerto Rican no matter what color your skin is. Nationality trancends skin color.

Maybe that wasnt Frog that posted cause that shit was retarted...

I am of primarily Ukranian descent, and I have been asked numerous times if I am asian. Well I'm sure that somewhere along the line AZNs and Ukies started fuckin'. Do I know in particular if I have any asian blood in me? Hell no. If we do, the lineage is too far back to find.

If there is a land bridge between two peoples, chances are they started fucking each other long ago.

As far as disorders that are considered genetic, I wouldn't tie them down to a race by any means. Perhaps a very rare disorder manifests itself only in a certain niche group of people that are primarily breeding within that social circle, and the rare people that carry said dominant gene are in it.
