For instance, since there is only one race, then the rules are the same for everyone. That alone has enormous consequences. For instance, most of the rap stars use a racist term, so must be called out for what they are: racists. Another consequence: if there is only one race, then race studies merge with psychology, which is study of humanity. I hadn’t really thought of those as the same thing, but it would hafta be, ja?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>spike<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
