Could you explain the difference between people who are biased with respect to other people's ethnicity -- and racists?
All I know is what I read in wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_%28classification_of_humans%29 *"Race* is classification of humans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human into large and distinct populations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population or groups http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_%28sociology%29 by factors such as heritable phenotypic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenotype characteristics or geographic ancestry, but also often influenced by and correlated with traits such as appearance, culture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture, ethnicity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnicity, and socio-economic status http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socioeconomic_status. ... Accordingly, the racial paradigms http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradigm employed by different kinds of biological or social scientists may vary in their emphasis on biological reduction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_reductionism as contrasted with societal construction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_constructivism...."
So I guess I can be allowed my own incomplete, ambiguous, contradictory and/or muddled views :-)
But maybe the discussion of what is and is not a woman would be more appropriate here :-)
