OT - A rose by any other name...
@ But when it boils down to it I am human..So lets me check off that little other box and write human right in there :-) 
It's like you were reading my mind. Check this out...
A while back I had the pleasure of working with a guy who was very fair-skinned but did not show any other "signs" of being what I would have considered at that point in time "a light skinned black or African-American." One day I finally asked him, out of curiousity more than anything, about his background. He said, "Well... My mother is both Lithuanian and German and Scottish-Irish and my father is Nigerian and Italian but both of them were born here in the United States. I stood and listened to that short laundry list of various nationalities trying to do the math in my head and must've appeared stunned for a second. So in my feeble attempt to try and make sense of what I had just heard I asked him, "So what does that make you?"
Without skipping a beat he replied, "Human. What else?"
I had never felt so stupid in all of my life.
