Interesting point about race definitions. It may interest you to know that the definition of black (not of Hispanic origin) on virtually every standardized test is something to the effect of "one whos ancestors originally came from Africa." One year I got fed up with the whole mess and pointed out that such a definition makes us all black. After all, didn't we all originally come from Africa? Henceforth, I am a different race on each test. I am simultaneously black (think great grandma Lucy), Asian (don't forget the possible Java man), and white (simply social convention.) I love screwing up their statistics. After all, if one can't even define race, what business does anyone have making decisions based on it?
