CB, I don't think anybody is denying genetic diversity. What I am denying is that skin color is a good proxy for genetic diversity. If you were decrying that skin color is the 'only' proxy you would be taking a reasonable position. But in stating flat out that appearance is not a good proxy for ethnic ailments is seriously deranged. Fair skinned caucasians are more susceptable to skin cancers, blacks of sub-saharan african origin to sickle cell. Now imagine a black family brings a child in to your office (your a doctor in this play) with symptoms of wasting. Do you test for celiac and sickle cell or do you go with the likely event to start treatment? Play it out with the irish kid. But then again your the lawyer - so you would test every kid for every ailment and drive costs through the roof and kill plenty of folks with the delays. John
