[QUOTE="nonaeroterraqueous, post: 74529462, member: 357177"] I'm uncomfortable with this approach. Since the beginning of the eugenics movement, biology has been used to justify racial discrimination. It was the excuse given for the WWII atrocities, and the attitude was even there during the first World War. Though I'm sure biological race doesn't play the big part that racists make it out to be, we do have to admit that different races do, in fact, have genetic differences (otherwise, they'd be the same race). Difference inherently means that one will be better in some ways than another. That's why I don't want to go down that road. It would be better for people to see each other the way God does, to value a person for their character and moral worth, to support them in their weakness and rely on them in their strength. Too much deference to biology is only going to lead to too much emphasis on race, which is what we need to get away from. [/QUOTE]
