All of which is entirely arbitrary. Why didn't you include hair color, or eye color, or height?

I simply just didn't think of it. I also said "Gotcha." to the other dude, acknowledging their side is (from what I can see and understand) is right. I rest my case. I'll edit my messages too.

Nobody would consider hair color, eye color, or height among people with the same skin color as part of their "race" -- that's the point I was making.

Fair enough. They still have some correlation though, important to note that.

If my brother has red hair and is 6 feet, and I have brown hair, and am 5 feet, we would still be the same race, so no, there's no correlation to race there, nor is it important to note. Because race is a social construct.
