There is only One Race and that is the Human Race. All ethnic differences are local adaptations and
unremarkable in any case as they're not relevant to any prevailing prejudice. snark on: Now GENDER
differences are really valid as points just ripe for prejudicial attitudes of contempt. snark off: Right?
If you say yes you lose. Lesson: Don't use the term "race" as a valid argument. Leave the ratfuckery to the reTHUGS, it's all they've got.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
