      BING! And that's five points for Mr. Davis!

      No meaning indeed!

      The concept of race is one of the most dangerous, destructive myths going. By every scientific (WHOOMP! there went Davis' head) measure, humans are of one "race".

      Because they are inherently negative terms, the sooner we drop race, racist, racism, racially, etc., from our lexicon, the better off we'll be.

        Cool. Maybe we can call it skinism when people of color are denied basic rights. I don't care if it's called racism or something else, but it has to have a name and it has to be acknowledged and dealt with.

      It is awfully tiresome to hear all of these wingnuts and their variations of the "wise latina" statement without the proper discrimination context

      [i]"f it's not racist, then the word has no meaning"

      The word has a meaning, one no more "racist" than Caucasian. Of course RWnuts rarely know the meanings of the words they like to use in the first place and love to redefine the rest.
