Racism

What the bloody monkey is wrong with Humans!?

I get to earth, expecting a strong feeling of family -
I mean c'mon! They're the only one's at the top of the food chain!
But perhaps that's the problem.
Perhaps they feel too secure.
The only other time I've had experience with humans was on a small planet very similar to earth. The only thing was that there were other races on that planet, so the Humans had to band together.

On earth, I guess they're so needy of that 'banded' feeling that they consider themselves different races.

I don't understand how you can make up something like that.
That's like me going up to you and saying; I'm not a Keoian. Sure I look just like one, I have the same genetic code as one, but I'm not.
Actually, I'm an elemental. So I guess that I'm not really a Keoian so much anymore.

Maybe they don't mean race... Maybe they mean flavor.
I know that there are Land, Sea, and Air Keoians - With large muscles, fins, and wings, respectively - But we all still consider ourselves Keoians.

I think they do consider themselves all the same race. In fact I'm pretty sure they do.
What I don't get then, is why they keep using the word 'race' to mean color of their skin.
That's not what a race is.

I guess it's just the flawed way they communicate that causes this misunderstanding. Something that to communicate to you I am bound by right now.

I'd show you what I meant, but it would scar your feeble mind forever.

it's just difficult being a human, ok? give us a break. you've never been a human. and besides you are probably more violent than all humans put together. just slicing and killing everyone! we all have our weaknesses. aliens like to kill and are too violent... and humans are racist.

Words have definitions because we give them it. We add definitions all the time, because somebody starts using it in a different way. So what a word means is only how it is used. Read "Language in Thought and Action" I can't remember the author. Dictionaries are only guidelines. All this to say- Race means whatever the majority of the human race says it means. Maybe if you were a member you could tell us what it means, but you aren't. And thank you for not scarring my feeble mind.
