This is so dumb (and there is no poll currently) but I am white.

 

[Red Door]

Never mind!
Is this because of Henry's thread?
I am white, aka Caucasian.
This is pretty stupid.

Yes it is, I am White too, and yes, it is.

EDIT: I voted for "this is stupid" because, well.....this is stupid.

 

[lifeaquatic]

ha ha.. partly I'm curious, partly i want to jab at Henry, thats the honest motivation in making this.

Diffinition of RACES?... by US goverment version.... or what?... since it is probably use less else where in the world.... how about what or how many languages u can speak might be a better indication.? WELL .. what the HELL... I am yellow then ^^" ... since Race is just a color classification..without reason or usefulness

 

[Zhahz]

Another vote for "this is stupid."

What does this have to do with Civ and just how bored are you!?

 

[Red Door]

Ah crap, I didn't see that last option. I would've voted for that.

Read Henrycccc's thread and you'll find out.

Technically, all Humans are of the same race, according to the biological definition of race, which is that if two organisms can mate and reproduce, they are of the same race.

What we're really talking about here is ethnicity/phenotype. All Human Beings are part of the same race.

Then we need way more groups then here in the poll.. with total different choice to chose from.. like I said before ... if we settle with US gov version,,, then this is fine by me

 

[henrycccc]

Ok, plz don't rip off my thread (now closing). I notified the moderators because you people flamed my thread. I'm black....

EDIT:Thank you Padma

 

[King Flevance]

I would say this one should be closed as well, seeing as it flamebaits a specific member.

 

[The Condor]

Yeah, or at least it should be in the OT.

 

[MattJek]

How about a "What religion are you poll" with the only choices being those religions in civ 4. If you're none of those than your choice would be "Tribal"...

 

[henrycccc]

Omg, I guess I really am the only black guy, 19 whites and only 1 african american....Anyway, thanks for answering my question, aquatic. I should have started a poll like you did.

You have just given an approximation of the technical definition of a species, not a race, which is not a term used in biology.

 

[henrycccc]

Actually, not to offend anyone, everyone is black. People origionated from africa, so it can be said all people are africans.

Since everyone thinks i'm a flamer, I've updated my signature.

henryccc might have been a bit of a muppet up till now, but that doesn't mean he should be treated like one in future. Some people just act weird on forums. Hell I should know

This poll would have been interesting and very valid without the last option. I treat race like I do with sex (as in male/female you pervs). However, a poll asking whether or not you are male or female would not have attracted such negativity.

This thread, just like the other one which turned into a flame war after several ignorant posters leaped on the guy who started the thread, will degenerate into a flame war.

No more race threads here, please, they tend to be of poor taste.
