Quite amusing derailment - always guaranteed on a US vs Them thread!

And fwiw, the OED says about race:

Quote:
race2

• noun 1 each of the major divisions of humankind, having distinct physical characteristics. 2 racial origin or distinction: rights based on race. 3 a group of people sharing the same culture, language, etc.; an ethnic group. 4 a group of people or things with a common feature. 5 Biology a distinct population within a species; a subspecies.
So the North American GFY race can just stfu and accept that it makes no sense to say MM/DD/YYYY
