 CS> Um, anyone with a military background will have alot of

 bk>  Ok, the military background does cover it. And inter-racial

 CS> Outside the military, that may be.  Insuide it, umm, up it to closer to

 CS> 30%?  Military housing out here shows closer to 50% but that's Japan

 CS> Since we are about 30% female in the military, yes, mostly it would

 bk>  not white/black.

 CS> Humm, we are not 'one big dusky race' yet as Thomas Jefferson foresaw,

Smart man Jefferson.

Personally I've never understood why so many people are 
fixated upon individuals just because they've different percentages
of melanin in their skin.
It seems rather ignorant and stupid if you ask me.
