Its very interesting to note the difference of mix marriaged as they say "Love Is Blind" so true. Who cares about what race anyway? Right? <BR/><BR/>Wrong! It depends largely which country one is born, and how mature a country has become.<BR/><BR/>Its sad but true. The not so long ago history of Rwanda genocides 1972 (36 yrs ago)witness a country decended into madness which took the lives of 100,000. After watching the Awards movie Hotel Rwanda played by Don Cheadle, I was moved to do some research on my own. (Must watch Movie) <BR/><BR/>This was my thoughts:<BR/>They were killing one another, same country, same skin colors, and even share the some language. They were 'almost' ONE with only one acception- One was known: Tutsi the other Hutu. Why?<BR/><BR/>The ideas surrounding real and supposed ethnic groups in Rwanda have a very long and complicated history. The definitions of "Hutu" and "Tutsi" may have changed through time and location. Societal structures were not identical throughout Rwanda. <BR/><BR/>There was clearly a Tutsi aristocracy that was distinguished from Tutsi commoners, and wealthy Hutu were often indistinguishable from upper class Tutsi. When the German colonists conducted their censuses, they desired to classify the people throughout Rwanda-Urundi with a single classification scheme. <BR/><BR/>They merely defined "Tutsi" as anyone with more than ten cows or a long nose. The "European-like" noses of some Rwandans invoked historical and racial theories to explain how some Africans acquired such noses.... After German, the Belgium rule the country,.... <BR/><BR/>Sorry, too much history here... <BR/><BR/>the point is race by definition has its purpose but it also has its disadvanatges. There will be segregation, discrimination, and so division. <BR/><BR/>So maybe we'll use Lita's style by numbers? 4, 3 , 3A's etc??<BR/><BR/>My simple thought were if there were no race, there would be no genocides? <BR/><BR/>US now set new standards about human beings, not race. Shouldn't it surprised to asked why are alliens not showing themselves? These human race are killing themselve, is best to lay off this seld distructive living organism in this planet called earth.<BR/>Ha ha.

Mariah Carey and Jennifer Beals comes to mind.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, Filipinos were classified as "Malay" in America once Since in those early days of the American Imperium they had only boxes for Caucasian, Negro, American Indian, Arab, Asian and Malay.<BR/><BR/>Early in the last century, the British had these catergories ,1. "Malay and other natives of the achipelago", 2. Chinese, 3 British Indian, 4.Pernanakkan Chinese, 5, Jawi Peranakkan/Jawi Pekan 6. Eurasian.7.
