Father doesn't mean man.

Man doesn't mean father.

Not all men are fathers.

All fathers are men.

There are more than 3 races, 7 maybe...

Scientifically speaking, 3.
Sensically though you are correct... But don't get me started on race vs ethnicity...

Okay, do you know of any white people who aren't Caucasian?

Depends on what definition you mean.

If you mean are there any white people who aren't from Europe, then yes. Unless you think Russians aren't white.

If you're talking about the American definition where Caucasian is synonymous with White, then I guess not. But that's not the real meaning of the term.

Scientifically speaking... outside of racial science I presume? Because we aren't allowed to go back a hundred years and look at eugenics and racial science...the whole world was wrong.

I know what I was messing it up with, so carry on. (There are also way more ethnicities than 7)

0 men 1 man 2 men

Are you suggesting I got something wrong? If so, what?

His grammar seems fine to me.

Man is synonymous with mankind in that post.

No, I was pointing out that we pluralize zero.

Why? Like, why did you say that? lol

Of course, but I've come to the realization just recently that when people call my religion and people a race, it's almost true; so many of us have left (died), our gene pool condensed.

Just call me Jewloid :tongue:

Jews aren't a race, I belive they are a nation. Of Arabic descent I think, though some are said to be Kazars. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Because his post blew my mind and I wanted to contribute.

I'm Ashkenazi, which is basically Russian descent.
And Khazars make up like .0000001% of Jews, since they're from ancient converts.

If Jews aren't a race, then Semites must a race, but alas that wasn't mentioned in the OP.

But I belive Jews have never mixed with the surrounding nations because of religion. Is that not so? In that case, wouldn't you be able to trace your ancestry back to either A. the Jews of the Bible or B. the Kazars?

Aren't they the same thing?
Oh and interesting fact; we hungarians are said to have Mongoloid ancestry, our languge is actually more similar to Finnish and Mongolian than any other language in the world.

Semites are just people who spoke the Semitic language.

Most Jews are direct descendants and Caucasoid, but those who are not ethnically nor culturally Jewish are usually Khazarian.

If Jews aren't a race, that means they remain as only a religion. It's supposedly politically correct for someone who is opposed to Jews to be an anti-Semite, but Semitic peoples extend beyond the religion of Jews. The Carthaginians were Semitic people. I'm assuming Semites are supposed to be people originating from Mesopotamia or Arabia. However, the Nazi's had Muslims in the SS, and they didn't intend to persecute Arabs. They hated Jews as a religion (burned synagogues) and as a race (racial hygiene).

@ NHsports123: If Semitic peoples are only people who spoke Semitic language, how can someone be labeled an anti-Semite for hating Steven Spielberg?

Wow, Muslims in the NS. Daggerfall, you never fail to deliver interesting factlets. :biggrin:

I think Jews aren't a race for obvious reasons, but definitely should have their own subgroup in the Caucasoids.

So they are just religiously Jewish correct?
