I am in favor of the word human. I am only in favor of humans who exhibit behavior that is beneficial to humanity.

If however a race wants to be delineated by color, I think the color name should match the face color exactly. I have light skin, but I really don't know of anyone that is really white, expect for Geishas. I am light tan. I know blacks want to be called black, but they are all really different shades of brown unless they are covered from head to foot with black hair like a black cat or black lab, then they would qualify as black. I have never know what to call the other races that seem to have different shades of olive skin. And what about the races that have the same color of skin, but different features of the face.

Lets call each person a human being and work with the person from that point of view. If that doesn't work, then ask the person where exactly on the color wheel they feel they fit and why and maybe we can understand them better then.

If they are humans but not human, then kick the bums out.

there was little righteous indignation expressed by whites
The same can be said of blacks and "affirmative action" now. People mostly like arrangements that work in their favor. Justice consists of making arrangements that working fairly equally in everyone's favor.
