vhb: What does race have to do with this excellent level of contributorship (to my mind) describes common sense entwined with an ironic sense of humor. SENSE seems the operative word here.
Groot: Because some people think one race deserves more importance than another. We are one race, we are one species. There are good people and bad people. Don't divide it up into something it is not. People are people divided based on cultural differences.

Who (some people) think this antiquated tripe/rubbish is common thought? The instinct of Survival is why tribalism emerged. You stay among those you trust not to kill you.

Maybe we need to start a recruitment drive to diversify this group for better input , making it more equal to all . I mean, really, who wants to listen to a bunch of white people droning on about what other races are going through without their input. I really want to hear the other side.

Groot: Ah, there it is. Tribalism. That is what our species is based on. We have our own little group, and anybody outside that group can't be trusted . And guess what that turns into. It's called racism these days.

Quotas. Equal opportunity soap box forum? You could first stop going by the name Groot and expose your real identity. Why are you hiding here calling for equality among your own peer group...otherwise you would not be a contributor. I doubt any member of the 'archaic period' cannibal Yanomami people would be contributing here as well...nothing much in common.

Just wondering because of all the rhetoric about race. Is there a percentage breaking down of who is on here according to race? I know in the past there use to be and I know the answer, but does anyone else?
It had to do with advertising. I could be wrong, but who do you think the majority of people on here are of from what race?
Just asking a honest question.
I'd say all but a few are from the Human race.
Ah ! So you agree we are a human race and not split up by color.
Am I wrong?
Si. Allah made every human equal to every other human.
