Should race be considered in the hiring of a football coach?? - Page 4 - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Jews are a race in the same way that whites or blacks are races: They're not. There is far more variation within whites and blacks then there is average difference between whites and blacks. We only use "race" as a convenient way of differentiating between people of different ethnicities, but the term is technically wrong, and frankly I wish we'd stop using it.

That is like saying I think Majerus is a race, because I brought him up in this thread.

It was about RACE. Sheesh!

anti-semitism? Wacko alert.

I wouldn't do business with certain members of the BYU nation? Does that make me anti-mormon? I wouldn't do business with certain neighbors. Does that make me anti-neighbor?

You logic........errr.......illogic is as Reagan would say..........there you go again. I would do business with MikeWaters.....at least once I did. Does that make me pro-MikeWaters?
