    One of my children's fellow students is African-American.

    She looks something like this:

    She was born in South Africa and is now an American citizen.

    So much for race.

    When I was in fifth grade, my best friend and I won a three-legged race. Does that count?

    Most of the answers on this thread show that most people are confusing nationality or cultural heritage with "race" which is a concept that biologists have proven does not exist with the decoding of the human genome.

    Pure white Anglo-Saxon. With maybe a dash of Viking!

    I remember when we used to be Caucasians...my son when little once asked, "Does that mean you're from Caca?"

    And I replied, "Why yes it does, son."

    Mostly Irish, then Welsh, German, English, Dutch and some Cherokee. Culturally I am Irish (Catholic at one time). I didn't realize how much until I lived in Ireland for a year back in the early 70's. Boy did I feel at home in a kind of crazy way.

    Still crazy.
