sorry for cross-posting - anyone up on the latest theories or definitions of "race"? president assad of syria was quoted on CNN today as saying that israel was more racist than the nazis - which got me wondering: why are jews still talked of as being a race (last time i was in israel the israelis were a mix of russians, mediterranean/mid-eastern types, ethiopians, fair-haired western europeans, the odd indian or chinese, etc.) while no one to my knowledge (might be wrong) has ever talked about a "christian" or a "muslim" race - geoff carver http://home.t-online.de/home/gcarver/ [log in to unmask]
