so hence why i will never refer to someone who is with the jewish faith, their own race. apart from the Human race
From your point of view, I agree.
I'd like to say I believe their are no different races.
Sadly, reality learns us that it is not. Everything gets it's own box.
But as I said.
Think away faith . The people we are talking about all share the same genetic characteristics. ( for example. a profound nose is common )
It's normal to see in a race ( a group of people with the same origin and regional roots )
That's why I say it's also a race on it's own.
I'm the last one to put boundaries on humankind, which obviously are dividing us. Even then a box isn't so bad because it easy to name some things
or groups that share common features. We ourselves are responsible to use it in a negative or positive way.
Edit to ad.
The indirect racism is almost always sustained and continued by the group (box) itself or by goody two shoes who want to make up for the past.
