WHOC, My point was that the races of people have little to do with citizenship or national origin. When you discuss race, the choices are simple because there are only 6.
1. Caucasian. That includes all "white" people. Including skandinavian, European, latin, etc.
2. Negro. That includes most of the native africans peoples and a few from Asia Minor that are considered negro.
3. Oriental. That would include Japanese, Chinese, anyone from southesat asia generally characterized by a epicactic fold in the eyes to some greater or lesser degree.
4. Pacific Islander. A recent addition that includes the peoples of all of the island or micronesia and the islands of the Pacific. Including but not limited to Hawaii, Samoa, Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, the Gilberts and Solomons, and Easter Island.
5. Native American. This includes all of the commonly identified "indian" tribes of North America, Eskimos, and the natives of South American and the Carribean Islands.
6. Arabs or Peoples of lesser Asia. These are recognized by all anthropologists as being separate race. As they have some prominent physical characterisitics that set them apart from Orientals, Negros, and Europeans, I chose to include them as separate.
My point being that in your original survey, you included not only races, but nationalities, and ethnicities. It's not a slam it's just pointing something out. Since the topic of racism and who is and who ain't is so popular down here in SI, I just stated a observation.
