<SNIP ALL TO ADD MY OWN STUFF>

OK, to use the information from my politics class (the same one which
taught me all about Vietnam), what is being discussed here is a civilizational
disagreement. A civilization, in this class, was defined as "the largest
grouping of people which can be termed without saying 'the entire human
race'." There were 7 civilizations, based mainly upon religion and language:
Western, Orthodox, Hindu, African, Latin American, Japanese, and Sinic.
You will notice that race does not factor into it. I don't remember where I
heard this, but anthropologists have identified 3 racial groupings which are
VERY different: White, African, and Sinic. The other races around (Native
American, Slavic, etc) are just "mixings" of those three races.
Just to identify that, as an FYI. I now return you to the regularly
scheduled discussion.
