Evolution talk at the VFW

Filed under: Random Thoughts

Apparantly you don’t need to be old, or a veteran, or have been in a foreign war to go to the bar in the VFW, but in any event, to clear up any confusion from last night. There are 4 racial classifications for us human folks.

Mongoloid
Caucasoid
Australoid
Negroid

Apparantly Capoid “sometimes” is used, which I don’t quite understand.
But, Amanda was right. Mongoloid was/is a term used to describe people with Down Syndrome, but is considered offensive and is “no longer used that way”.

Mongoloid is mainly used to describe the majority of people in Asia. According to Wikipedia, that includes the people of North,East,Southeast,Central, and West Asia. Apparantly West Asians don’t get to be included

Thats the history lesson for today
