Mixed Race.

[patsyann]

Just a thought.
Lewis Hamilton first Black Formula 1 Champion.
Barack Obama first Black American President.

Wrong they are both mixed race .

[Gormless]

This has been mentioned a few times.

[crackadoodle]

mixed race wel i say! its only half amazing then

[Gormless]

Why is a Black World Champion more significant than a Brazilian one (there have been numerous) or an Argentinian, or indeed a Scotty?

[Bbbananas]

does it really matter?

[4getmenot]

yep went to put half cast before but thought I'd be shouted out couldnt think of the phrase 'mixed race'

[jake-the-peg]

I see.

So if you've got 1 black grand-parent and 3 white are you still mixed race?

One great grand parent?

What exactly are these rules and where do they come from?

Am I mixed race if I've got 1 French parent? what makes a race?

Is Sothern European or Nordic a "race"?

It all gets rather silly don't you think?

Someone is black if they have the general features and if they think of themselves as black.

The idea of race makes as much sense as the idea of a pedigree dog

[legendis.god]

If theyre not black will the kkk like them ?
Doubt it .


In those cases anything apart from white is as bad .


Comprende ?

[Hammer Head]

The correct term is 'half-caste'.

[ummmm]

Oh Hammer head....It is no longer!!!!!

[jake-the-peg]

Quarter-caste?

eigth-caste?

What the KKK or the BNP think about "race" doesn't make it true any more than Sarah Palin thinking the world was made 6,000 years ago makes that true

comprende?

[Gormless]

You might as well ask "What is Truth?"

Pontius Pilate had a stab at something similar a while back.
