In article <328CAE14.3DA6@conterra.com>,
Bob Whitaker (bwhit@conterra.com) ran his automated response program,
and it produced:
: It is the Politically Correct position that, because race is fuzzy
: at the edges, race does not exist.

Actually, Bob, that's not it. If you knew about the history of
"race" among humans, you'd know that it is a Western creation, a social
construct, and a very recent one- it goes back just a few hundred years.

: Anyone who disagrees with this, of course, is A Nazi Who Wants To Kill
: Six Million Jews.

I challenge Whitaker to show that anyone has said the above quote.
