When presenting arguments, it is best to adhere to a lexicographical source so as not to delve into an argument of semantics. Torajirou provided a pretty good and respectable source, and you then proceeded to use the word in a quite arbitrary and incorrect way to how it had been defined. I suggest if you want to continue your argument, you choose a different word to encompass the 'being-ness' that is inherent in all humans, and allow race to stand for what torajirou has cited.


My own perspective on this matter is that, as society globalizes, the barriers allowing genetic drift between independent cultures will be broken down, allowing society to become more homogenized and causing the 'universal culture' of the world to narrow in scope.
