^^^^^ This right here, and I agree, but is why I hate words like "race", "Religion" "ethnic" and "culture".
If you have something you think is really gold meddle stuff, why not share it?
Don't get me wrong, I still stand by the claim that things like religion, race, nationality, ethnic, culture, political and economic views are all artificial constructs that will never change all 7 billion of us extend from the same ancestors.
But, outside politics why should anyone give a fuck if someone looked at you and said "I like that". In a real evolutionary context that is literally how evolution works, through diversity.
