Are you and your SO the same race?

[mawilson 2,133]

Why do they call it race? Has anyone ever won??

Do you even have to ask? Look around you, see who 'runs' the world.

Of course, other races believe the 'race' was 'fixed', but still...

I suppose we're the same race. If husband has to specify race on certain forms there isn't a box for Arab or Mid Eastern so he has to check "Caucasian".

Question since I'm not up on the technicalities of race....are Mid Easterners Caucasians?

Im always wondering about this too. Some forms dont have a box for "Other" and technically he's from Africa, so does that make him an African American? I dont put a lot of fuss into it, just curious.

Hubster is Arab-Berber as is his family for eons back. My dad's folks came from England 'bout 3 generations back and mixed with Native Americans. Mom's family came from Scotland around 5 or 6 generations back and also mixed with Native Americans. Interestingly enough, my brother and dad inherited some of the darker coloring of our Native American realtives, while mom and I remain fish-belly pale. Hubby likes to say that I am pink and he is brown so we will have a cappucino baby

And yeah Im all about the sunburn from a lamp comment. I look at a vacation magazine and become a boiled lobster. Hubby turns into a golden-brown sun god.
