    We are all one race. The differences are superficial and only some difference are called ‘racial.’ Historically, people we consider to be the same race have seen each other as being racially different. Greeks and Turks probably see each other as being racially different, even though the historical data suggests that most of them are descended from the same racial stock. They certaily are physically indistinguishable when considered as a group. Historically, upper- and lower-class people saw themselves as racially different, etc. Many British people see the Irish as a separate race, etc.

    The word ‘race’ in popular culture is almost meaningless from a scientific point of view and can mean many things that have nothing to do with biology. Let’s face it: All humans are the same ‘race.’ Our biological differences are insignificant. We differ less from each other than brown bears from black bears. Think what would happen if we defined ‘race’ by eye color, IQ, ability to play the piano, ability to see color, etc. In fact, if we go by eye color, ‘Europeans’ are the most ‘mongrelized’ race on earth, which may be why they have done so well in the world – so far at least.

    I think that it refers to either female office workers or female medical personnel such as nurses.

    There has been discussion of legalizing prostitution. I feel that it may be useful to compare the problem with ‘prohibition’ when alcohol was banned. By making ‘prostitution’ illegal it makes it a more profitable occupation with less ‘quality’ control. Prostitutes may wish to be protected like other workers but they also may not like the competition if prostitution is legalized. Imagine a sex McDonalds where reasonably priced, reasonably pleasant, and reasonably safe sex is available. What will this do family life and ‘relatiionships’. How many men and possibly women will want to pay for ‘home cooked meals’ when such a McDonalds if readily availabe ?
