Race is a relatively inbred lineage that emerges from a particular geographical region and manifests distinctive superficial traits that people find salient. — Michael O. Hardimon, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of California, San Diego
> I think if you changed out 'superficial' with 'morphological or behavior' this would be very close to my wife's definition of race. Can a trait be distinct and also be superficial? I think somewhere she would have also added 'a populated isolated long enough' to have developed these distinct characteristics.
