We're all mixed we all have "white", Slavic, Oriental and Mongoloid blood coursing through our viens so the construct of race doesn't enter into my thought processes except when it comes to schvartzas.
I have family from Russia, Germany, Poland, northern Italy and England so no doubt I have a little of everything.

Yes but probably your ancestry is over 99% White. That is why you are fully White.
You confuse two concepts. It's true that there is no such thing as a pure race. However, individuals can still be classified to different racial types on the basis of their appearance and ancestry.

I am so glad you posted this as it has cleared up a few issues for me. So Caucasian groups like Jews, Slavs, and even gypsies (descended from Hindus) are 'white', after all. :)

How are black people not human? They are clearly the same species as us... and don't use your IQ statement either... that would imply that a disabled person is not human, something that is obviously not true.

They are not moral subjects. It is a philosophical statement.

They are human, and I am offended that you would even consider otherwise
