Well,you may consider the gingers to be 'unethnic' but after reading the attached article you may consider them less the totally human, so you might want to change your views.

 

Red hair a legacy of Neanderthal man

(The Sunday Mail - p.22. 22/04/2001)

 

Red hair may be the legacy of Neanderthal man. Oxford University scientists think the ginger gene, which is responsible for red hair, fair skin and freckles, could be up to 100,000 years old. They say their discovery points to the gene having originated in Neanderthal man, who lived in Europe for 260,000 years before the ancestors of modern man arrived from Africa about 40,000 years ago.

 

Research leader Dr. Rosalind Harding said: "It is certainly possible that red hair comes from the Neanderthals." The Neanderthals are generally thought to have been a less intelligent species than modern man, Homo sapiens. They were taller and stockier, but with shorter limbs, bigger faces and noses, receding chins and low foreheads. They had a basic, guttural vocabulary of about 70 words, probably at the level of today's two-year-old, and they never developed a full.... language, art or culture.

 

I'm a fan!

 

I've never heard about this issue, thank you for posting!

... Reprehensible is too mild for this guy!

 

I was about to have some sympathy for you, until I remembered how compassionately you treated me in the past, so I will just sit back and enjoy the show.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Checked back and found the reference. I'm sorry if my thinking a thief (your description - not mine) is reprehensible. I have no 'beef' with you.

So the ginger boy pictured is Nicholas, wow. When I had my Thanksgiving trysts with Noah Driver, he went on and on about Ben Nicholas. Guess they practiced together some years back.

Can't wait to meet this clean-cut hunk sometime, even though Noah told me Nicholas is leaning to get a tramp-stamp.

So if someone said they did not like gays and did not agree with gay marriage, is that "homophobia" or just " non-PC "? Do they have the right to express themselves ?

Let s try non PC then. Gay marriage is wrong. Gay adoption is wrong. Gay s should not be serving in the military.

Well even "Caucasian" is debatable as being "white", and of course there is always confusing 1/32 rule of white vs non-white.It all comes down to phenotype, really what one appears to be regardless of the genetic make-up. So generally you shouldn't care, just like who you like as you never know what flow under the skin.

 

From wikipedia;

Usage in the United States

Further information: Race in the United States

In the United States, the term "Caucasoid" is used in disciplines such as anthropology, craniometry, epidemiology, forensic medicine and forensic archaeology. It is also sometimes associated with notions of racial typology.

 

Besides its use in anthropology and related fields, the term "Caucasian" has often been used in the United States in a different, social context to describe a group commonly called "White people".[37] "White" also appears as a self-reporting entry in the U.S. Census.[38] Between 1917 and 1965, immigration to the United States was restricted by a national origins quota. The Supreme Court in United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind (1923) decided that Asian Indians were ineligible for citizenship because, though deemed "Caucasian" anthropologically, they were not white like European descendants since most laypeople did not consider them "white" people. This represented a change from the Supreme Court's earlier opinion in Ozawa v. United States, in which it had expressly approved of two lower court cases holding "high caste Hindus" to be "free white persons" within the meaning of the naturalization act. Government lawyers later recognized that the Supreme Court had "withdrawn" this approval in Thind.[39] In 1946, the U.S. Congress passed a new law establishing a small immigration quota for Indians, which also permitted them to become citizens. Major changes to immigration law, however, only later came in 1965, when many earlier racial restrictions on immigration were lifted.[40] This is where the confusion on whether American Hispanics are included as "white," as the term Hispanic originally applied to Spanish heritage but has since expanded to include all people with Hispanophone ancestry. In other countries, the term Hispanic is not nearly as associated with race, but with the Spanish language and cultural affiliation.

 

The United States National Library of Medicine often used the term "Caucasian" as a race in the past. However, it later discontinued such usage in favor of the more narrow geographical term "European", which traditionally only applied to a subset of Caucasoids.[41]................

 

Race appears to be objective and scientific but it is a social construct based on appearance that finds little expression at the genetic level (meaning only limited amounts of genetic variation is due to race).

 

However, a colorblind approach to race is dubious at best. Here's why. ("If I see a person of color and I claim to be colorblind, what color do I see? White.")

Well, escort agencies went away a long time ago. NYC probably has more tv production now than anytime since the 50s. I don't recall NYC being awash in WASPy looking escorts 10 years ago, although there continue to be plenty like that who don't escort. In different ways, NYC and SF have always been a bit edgier than the rest of the US and the sex business has reflected this. And having lived in the South, white people there talk often good games about politeness and responsibility and then complain. There are southern gentlemen, but they are rare birds, just as they are anywhere else. People seem nostalgic for a world that probably never really existed, which is the essence of nostalgia, just don't confuse it with the real world.

You are comparing the act of finding one person attractive and another not attractive to denying equal rights and/or protection under the law based on sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity.
