In March, Edward James Olmos from the show Battlestar Galactica spoke to the U.N.. In this confenrence he spoke about the meaning of the word "race".

I was watching Attack of the Show the other day where they invited Edward for an interview. In the show, he said that because of what he said concerning race and it's use, the U.N. went back to it's "constitution" and rewrote a part, declaring that the word "race" should no longer be used as a cultural determinate.

FINALLY.

My dad taught us to never use the word "Race" to describe who someone is, since we're all just one Race. (i did sometimes but It was mainly because of how used to hearing it I am.)

I should tell him about this since he loves this show too. : D

Oh, wow. I guess he's trying to spread the word that Cylons are people too.

No, but seriously, deep.

It's always bothered me how the word "race" could be used to describe ethnicity

Thank you! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that problem.
