Guest guest Posted March 10, 2000 Report Share Posted March 10, 2000 Who is that man that said there is only one race in this world the " human race " , there are just nationalities? I think it might have been one of the politicians running for President but I could be wrong. I agree with him on this one whoever it was. Sorry I can't give credit where credit is due. And I am sorry, I think a nationality was brought up here to desribe who someone was. If this person would have been a white female with strawberry blonde hair, that description would have been used instead. Unfortunately it is harder to say a " German " person or a " Swedish " person.
