[QUOTE="boomerzz, post: 1288777, member: 3113"] Race can only be used as a divider. It's best if the government doesn't know or care what your race is. Just like me. What you want is skin color at the time of license issue. Light, Medium, Dark. No offense, I disagree with having either of these though... helpful for the police doesn't mean helpful for a citizen. Funny true story, at work, there is a guy from Spain with a "white" complexion (this is fairly normal there)... as you know, in other countries they don't have "race", like we do here (because people make money off of it here), so we had to fill out a form for the government, and he had to check a box... well... he's not Latino! He's not hispanic! ... but he speaks Spanish and English... we laughed and he talked to our CTO... and he was told to check the white box. This sounds really well thought out. I told him it doesn't matter, I was checking "other" x2 ... and my obligatory "This is America". [/QUOTE]
