The Great Race an open challenge to Racists

None of the racists seem game to take up the challenge;

"THE GREAT RACE CHALLENGE"

# First published in september 2003, there have been NO TAKERS! # # # Apparently the racists couldn't even agree on how many # races there were, and what their names should be! B^D

Sign up now, I will use some of the standard images of a variety of humans and you can all show us how their 'races' can be easily identified.

R.M O'Donnell; ....................................... Sumdum Newbie; ....................................... Ned Latham ....................................... Neville Duiguid ....................................... Stan Pierce ....................................... Enlightenment ....................................... Mosley ....................................... Dumsooc ....................................... ferdie ....................................... Petzl ....................................... Michael Wallace ....................................... Shlep .......................................

Any other racist ........................................

The racists can put their money where your racist mouths are. (any other racists are welcome to join in - it's an open challenge!)

You racists will have to decide how many 'race' categories (3-50?) in each group, and how many major 'groups' there are (3- 12?)

We will have to agree on an independent judge.

I will send them a copy of the photos with a description of their place of birth and ethnic group origins before you racists start your guesses (the sealed envelope approach)

You racists will privately send your guesses to the judge we agree on, (to avoid you being influenced by each other. Of course you can all pre-arrange to cheat, but it will look really funny if you all get the SAME wrong answers! B^D

The judge will then post the ethnological information for each photo, your guesses, and if necessary, a chart showing the variation in guesses.

That should be a handy piece of rational scientific evidence of how coherent 'race' is and how sound your 'observational' model is.

If you racists don't have the ticker.. we will just call you THE GREAT RACE **DENIERS** and expect that you never again raise your stupid nonsense in our rational discussion groups.

B^)

Let us know when you have agreed as a group on how many 'races', and sub-races within each, you will need.

I know you will want to list hundreds to give yourselves the maximum flexibility and not be faced with some 'group' you have embarrbuttingly left out, but lets limit it to something between 12 and 30, just to keep things manageable, ok?

"One People - One Planet" Everything else is disunity and division.

"There is a fundamental distinction between multicultural and Multiculturalism, which racists constantly and deliberately confuse.

A society is multicultural if it has more than one culture being practised within that society.

'Multicultural - A society which embraces a number of minority cultures' - Macquarie Dictionary

Multiculturalism is two things, the -ISM indicates that it is a set of beliefs or ideas about multiculture, ie a recognition of multicultural REALITY, an acceptance of it, a celebration of it. But it is ALSO a set of government policies to formalize that recognition, acceptance and celebration! Thus the Howard government has a Department which documents the positive economic social and foreign policy benefits from having a successful, open, democratic multicultural society."

come from different cultures, and live different lives that could be categorised into groups if you chose to do so.
