muzosi,<<<None of this is politically correct, but it's the unvarnished truth>>> I admire your courage in discussing these topics where many are afraid to go. And, I mostly agree with you. The truth is, this is America. This is not Nazi Germany. We are not going to track down people with trace amounts of bad blood. We are not going to be ridiculous and try to catagorize people into subgroups like in Brazil, where they may now have hundreds of subgroups and catagories. This is America, where you are judged by what you contribute and not care much about where you came from or how you got here (metaphorically speaking). To speak of blood groups or DNA characteristics should not only be permissable but should be encouraged. If you take it to a logical conclusion, no one will be hurt. We aren't there yet, but we will get there, where we will not say to anyone, "I see what you look like, I know what you are thinking, and I know you can never be Secretary of State or run for Vice President, you can't be National Security Advisor, Labor Scretary.....yada, yada, yada....". Tell Michael Jordan, to his face, that his "people" are such and such. We, in America are, the "can do" people. We will see problems and find solutions rather than spew hatred. Tell me in what philosophy where spewing hatred is defensible. Mary
