People are all exactly alike. there's no such thing as a race and barely such a thing as an ethnic group. if we were dogs, we'd be the same breed. george bush and an australian aborigine have fewer differences than a lhasa apso and a toy fox terrier. a japanese raised in riyadh would be an arab. a zulu raised in new rochelle would be an orthodontist. people are all the same, though their circumstances differ terribly.
