Re: Not quite

Yes, I agree with this. However the term of "Race" as used in reference to the human species is an artificial construct. For example in Brazil and other Latin American countries "Race" is a description of how one appears. If you "appear" to be "White" then you are. This is true even if within your family one of your parents may not "appear" white. Many Brazilians with blonde hair and blue eyes still refer to themselves as "mulatto" due to the extensive "Racial" mixing in that country. So how do we know that the Brazilian model on the cover is truly "White". How do we know anyone is "White" unless their DNA does not show any markers for any other group. That is why this whole discussion is based totally on one's perceptions.
