As a whole, the default value of a senator's skin tone is white, unless otherwise specified. A 1/100 ratio often garners that type of recognition, and is one of those things placed on a fact sheet. Another example is Fred Thompson. White man, but currently the only senator to hold a regular acting job, a 1/100 ration that garners recognition

Orange, I think you missed my point. Of course they're not defined by their skin tone any more than being defined as being an actor. It's just a point on their description. Like Sandra Day O'Connor being named the first female supreme court justice. Her being female isn't the big point, it's just something to scroll across the bottom of the screen, along with other facts, as CNN tells the story.

You see Rasobasi.... to my limited knowlege a person or individual is defined by their lineage/family history....their occupation or some great work they have done and left to posterity.

On a side note, I'm not sure if people should be defined by their lineage. It's just as bad as defining someone by their race.

I dont even see the logic of this post? So you are saying that people with more melanin are killing people with lesser melanin? Stupid #. Skin color means nothing. You are an idiot even if you were flourescent green and you would still be one in any other color. AS a white person I can easily say that we have been responsible for 10 times the number of murders commited by black people and that is probably way short of the actual number. The only difference is that when white people kill we tend to do it on a mass scale because of our lack of spiritual essence. Ask the jews about that perhaps.

What are you talking about? You seriously lost me on that rant. I'm not sure if you're making a point, or just saying whatever comes to mind when you hear these names.
Aside from that, maybe the first thing people think of when they see a black person in te media is that the person is black, but that isn't necessarily because of the media's influence, but because you see their picture, and see that they are black.
As for other instances, like Barack Obama, sure they say he's black. He's the only black person serving in the senate.

And Orangetom,
I know I'm the son of a fisherman, and I'm the son of a Doctor, but I don't define myself in that way. My personal definition is something that no one else would ever know.
And publicly, no one is defined by their lineage, but by their deeds.
