re: #214 Dianna

Many black babies appear white at birth because the melanin takes time to appear. However, race is a curious issue and wouldn’t be based on “appearance”, but on what the parents said.

In any case, there is only one race: human.

Well said.

Incidentally, my daughter’s birth certificate (1992) does not list race at all. I believe my husband’s does, but I am pretty sure mine doesn’t. (I can’t find the latter two right now.)
