Ok, I went to the dictionary and these are the two definitions that I found that might be applicable:
***********************************************
a : a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock b : a class or kind of people unified by community of interests, habits, or characteristics
a : an actually or potentially interbreeding group within a species; also : a taxonomic category (as a subspecies) representing such a group b : BREED c : a division of mankind possessing traits that are transmissible by descent and sufficient to characterize it as a distinct human type
*************************************************
By the first definition, any group with shared interests becomes a race, ie; by that definition we who gather here at Oprano could be characterixed as "The Adult Webmaster Race"...
That is not what I meant in the poll....
I meant the second definition when I referred to race... A group that passes down characteristics, etc... ie: the Cacucasian race
Just to clarify....
