Its still obviously imperfect, and that reminds me of my favorite rebuttal to people who argue that race is a real thing because "even a 5 year old can tell which people are black and which ones are white just by looking at them!" And that is: Nearly everyone thinks Tiger Woods is black, LOL. Dummies.

Dummies indeed.
Not so much because they are wrong in regard to his ethnicity, as much as they are for feeling the need to define him by it. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I have yet to meet a "black" person in my life, that wasn't set on fire. I've met a couple that were pretty close, being that darkly chocolate brown, but I wouldn't identify the ethnic group they come from as "black" by any stretch.
I know a few that are pretty close to "white"... who aren't dead. Kinda scary... but I work in software :P
Using color to describe/associate race is
a) stupid
b) (often) technically the wrong color
