Ice Czar said:well there are several dictionaries
I agree 3c is a useful definition
but when you apply 2a to a country as large as the US problems aise
2 a : a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock b : a class or kind of people unified by community of interests, habits, or characteristics
one as a country we dont belong to the same stock
we have rarely had a unified community, interests or even charcteristics
at least that where truely on a national and ethnic level
with mass media that has grown closer and closer but using race as a descriptor of Americans I think is about as valid as trying to apply the same to Europe as a whole, the Britsh Commonwealth, NATO, Warsaw pact, G7 ect.
Canada
2b talks of a class or kind of people, yet there is no truely representative class or kind outside of sterotypes in media, and they are largely exclusive of other highly divergent yet equally valid groups in america
think even employing that definition its a stretch to employ "American Race"
which is why they used a more homogenized example, a considerable time has passed since the Celts, Picts, Britians, Romans, Jutes, Angles, Saxons, Normans, and likely assorted ancestors of yours (not that some already listed couldnt be in the group) where distinct races\cultures in England
and even now new immigrants throughout Europe are invaildating the idea of country as a basis of Race

superthrawn said:Alright, then, I'll say it.
It's a good idea to express your beliefs in any way possible, so long as you don't harm anyone else in doing so.
Edit: clarity.

HHunt said:I guess the black community could claim that the game in question teaches the players to associate black people with negative values, which is a kind of harm.
HHunt said:The most common use of "nation as race" seems to be in enemy propaganda, anyway.
