I like the notion of "geographic race." It makes lots of sense to create "categories" in a sense based on what parts of the world we come from. And it only makes sense that we've developed different traits to adapt to those different climates-just as polar bears have thicker fur than black bears for warmth, we have different skin and features and traits. And how wonderful! Differences should be celebrated, for they make the world an interesting place. Although will "geographic race" even be an accurate term in a few years? Like we talked about on Friday, with so much international moving, we're becoming one big giant melting pot. Or are we? Are we a mosaic rather than a melting pot? At any rate, it seems like race will someday be an almost obsolete term as we continue to move and settle different places. It's an interesting thought. It's just too bad we always have people who want to turn our differences into battles for superiority. And too bad that science can be twisted so easily, is always taken as fact, and that journalism can get away with articles like that.
