Well I thought of not responding at all to Rosenberg's post, because., .;well,, ;.i is really stupid,., Also, blog history has proven that R cannot really have a debate without getting really nasty.

Let's be clear.

I am not answering his question.

I really don't care about all that personal identity issue.

However, I am answering because, again I find myself needing to make sure that others who are reading his post be informed by some facts.

Not by what he simply states as facts.

R said:

"The Ethnicity of someone is not based solemnly that person's race, skin color or features and characteristic attributes or because that someone is a descendant of a certain human race."

First let me just say that by just looking at that sentence, one would think that R would not be telling other people to watch their grammar and punctuation.

Second, If you start your argument with a fallacy, than your final question cannot be answered.

Looking at this premise above, there are many things wrong with it, but there's one major one.

Bloggers, let me point out to you that it has been many year now since scientists concluded that people are not of different races; that there is in fact just one human race; that we are all descendants of one woman who lived in the Eastern region of Africa; that it is the descendants of that woman who migrated out of Africa and became all us today--including "Wites" "Asians" "Blacks" etc. So the whole premise of someone being the "descendant of a certain human race" is false.

Now let me go hide from the blow-back that will be coming...
